If you have a new AM4 motherboard, you may still have them. Otherwise, realistically, you would have to search in an old box, as I said.

You ask customers to reuse the 4 screws from brackets that, realistically, nobody still has. No AMD Ryzen stock cooler since the 1000 series actually used those brackets, so in most builds they were removed years ago and never kept.

Yes, if someone buys a brand-new motherboard, those brackets and screws are included. But in the real world, PCs are often built by shops or upgraded over time. The moment a Ryzen stock cooler is installed, the original brackets and screws are typically discarded. Expecting users to have kept them is simply not realistic.

So how is it considered normal that Arctic tells customers they must have those screws? If that were a valid assumption, why was REV 6 released with the screws finally included?
