The practical AM5 Adapter & Offset Mounting Kit for AMD‘s socket AM5 motherboards includes cooler brackets for offset mounting of the CPU as well as adapter screws from UNC 6-32 to M3 and M4 threads
respectively.
The adapter screws can be used to mount CPU coolers that require an M3 or M4 thread instead of the UNC 6-32 thread of the mounting screws of the cooler bracket, as is the case with various AIOs or water coolers.
With the offset brackets, compatible CPU coolers can optionally be mounted offset on the processor to optimise cooling performance. Since the introduction of the chiplet design in Ryzen CPUs, the hottest point of the heat spreader is no longer in the middle, but has been offset slightly downwards and, depending on the CPU, towards the edge.
AM5 Adapter & Offset Mounting Kit: adapter screws and offset mounting of the CPU cooler With the help of the offset mounts, the CPU cooler can be mounted closer to the hotspot of the processor, allowing heat to be dissipated from the CPU chiplets more quickly and efficiently.
The offset mounts have UNC 6-32 threads and can be used with the adapter screws on M3/M4 threads. The AM5 Adapter & Offset Mounting Kit also increases CPU cooler mounting compatibility when using the Thermal Grizzly Ryzen 7000 Direct Die Frame. Due to the change in mounting height with Direct Die cooling, the cooler must be mounted lower, which is made possible by the M3 and M4 adapter screws.
Note on compatibility with AM5 mainboards
The AM5 Adapter & Offset Mounting Kit is in principle compatible with mainboards for the AMD AM5 socket. Another criterion for the compatibility of the AM5 Adapter & Offset Mounting Kit with a mainboard is sufficient space next to the screws of the AMD cooler mounting. More precisely, there must not be any components near the lower cooler mounting (facing the PCIe slots).
Between the screws of the cooler mounting and high components, such as pin-heads or capacitors, there must be at least 6 mm of free space under the screws. After mounting, if in doubt, ensure that the offset brackets or the adapter screws mounted in them do not come into contact with electronic components.
The next generation - the Alphacool Eisblock Aurora water cooler for Geforce RTX 4XXX graphics cards. In order to dissipate the enormous heat of this graphics card generation in the best possible way, numerous optimizations have been made to the water cooler compared to the previous model. The fin structure was adapted and enables a very good water flow while increasing the cooling surface. The modified jet plate with improved inflow engine ensures an optimal distribution of the water on the cooling fins.
Important note: The RTX 4090 Eisblock Aurora Reference cooler is not compatible with Nvidia's Geforce RTX 4090 Founders Edition. The RTX 4090 FE is compatible with the following cooler: Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 4090 Founders Edition with Backplate (Art. 15632)
Technical Highlights
The fin structure of this Eisblock cooler generation was developed together with Nvidia board partners. The fin thickness is 0.4 mm, the distance between the cooling fins is 0.4 mm. This ensures a very good water flow while increasing the cooling surface. The jet plate has a revised inlay that spreads the water pressure better over the fins thus optimizing the heat absorption. The adjusted water inflow gives the water a better angle of inflow.
Chrome-plated copper
The cooler is made entirely of chrome-plated copper. A chrome plating is much harder than a nickel plating and therefore less sensitive to acids, scratches and damage. It completely eliminates the risk of chipping nickel plating. Additionally, chrome plating looks much more homogeneous and provides a shine that cannot be achieved by nickel plating. Chrome-plated coolers have previously only been used in the industrial sector in areas where extreme influences act on the coolers.
Design
The Aurora design of the Geforce RTX 4XXX Eisblock generation is visually calmer and simpler. Only one O-ring runs around the entire cooler. The design around the cooling fins and jetplate makes for a cleaner look. The illumination of the digitally addressable RGB LEDs is even better distributed throughout the cooler as a result of the chrome plating. The terminal's design is in line with the classic Aurora design.
Thermal paste & thermal pads
The included thermal compound is Alphacool's Subzero. With a thermal conductivity of 16 W/mk, it is one of the highest performing thermal pastes on the market. The electrically non-conductive thermal compund is particularly well suited for high contact pressures, but can still be processed perfectly due to its viscosity of 850000 TF. Alphacool Soft Pads with 1mm thickness are used on the voltage converter and the graphics memory. The thermal conductivity of the pads is 7W/mk. The pads for the back of the PCB are 3mm thick and have a thermal conductivity of 3W/mk.

Note on application
Please use only in conjunction with clear transparent water cooling fluids. The particles and additives in Pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage water cooling products such as radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses. This can result in voiding the manufacturer's warranty as well.
