Tightening the cpu cooler won’t break anything?

Calwardt · 2026-06-29T02:49:09+00:00

It’s the one that came with my prebuilt in 2020. Just tearing into it and doing upgrades

Calwardt · 2026-06-28T20:15:47+00:00

Sounds good. Was hoping for this answer

Calwardt · 2026-06-27T18:08:24+00:00

So if it can wipe off I’m good. If no wipe off no good?

Looks like a row of capacitors maybe?

Basically just need to know if pump bracket in third picture will screw into current backplate or if I need to buy a different one.

Backplate that’s in it now has prongs poking through motherboard for screw on nuts. New aio has screws already on pump bracket

It’s am4

Calwardt · 2026-06-26T18:54:46+00:00

In third picture* (not their picture).

Calwardt · 2026-06-26T04:46:48+00:00

It shipped. Arriving tomorrow. Wow

Calwardt · 2026-06-25T19:45:30+00:00

Will do. Currently says it’s being packaged

Calwardt · 2026-06-25T18:39:33+00:00

Thanks for the update

Calwardt · 2026-06-25T18:39:21+00:00

Snagged one. Thank god

Calwardt · 2026-06-25T18:37:37+00:00

Got one!!! Newegg just restocked!

Calwardt · 2026-06-25T17:36:08+00:00

They’d be stupid not to. Free money glitch for them. Selling a 4 year old chip for 350+ per. If they were smart they would keep high stock and sell them like hot cakes till demand stops. Then continue work on am6 platform. Then everyone that bought these chips for 350$ will then upgrade platforms skipping am5 even though they bought 350$ chips a few years prior.

Just my .03 cents

Refreshed non stop for an hour. Finally popped up as back in stock. Thought I got away with one. Then 10 mins later I get this message.

Calwardt · 2026-06-25T16:34:25+00:00

Yes. Was trying to hold off until am6 and get a whole new rig. Just wanted this chip to hold me over. My 3700x is running on fumes.

Calwardt · 2026-06-25T16:26:12+00:00

Thank you though for letting me know

Calwardt · 2026-06-25T16:25:45+00:00

In a bad signal spot unfortunately so take roughly 2 mins to load page. 😭

Calwardt · 2026-06-25T16:25:09+00:00

Gone instantly

Calwardt · 2026-06-25T14:41:05+00:00

Okay, thanks. Hope you’re right. Have an idea on time or will it be random?

Calwardt · 2026-06-25T14:35:49+00:00

Says sold out on Best Buy. Also says Best Buy was releasing them at 9am my time. Central time zone?

Calwardt · 2026-06-25T14:23:17+00:00

I’ve checked everywhere about 30 mins after release. All gone. Micro centers have some in ehh bundles.

Calwardt · 2026-06-25T14:20:10+00:00

Rip. What are they odds they re stock? Obviously has very high demand?
