Thermal Grizzly AM5 Adapter & Offset Mounting Kit

The practical AM5 Adapter & Offset Mounting Kit for AMD socket AM5 mainboards includes cooler brackets for offset mounting of the CPU, as well as adapter screws from UNC 6-32 to M3 and M4 threads.

With the help of the adapter screws, CPU coolers can be mounted that require an M3 or an M4 thread instead of the UNC 6-32 thread of the fastening 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 optimize 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 moved slightly down and, depending on the CPU, to the outside.

The offset brackets allow the CPU cooler to be mounted closer to the processor's hotspot, allowing heat to be removed from the CPU chiplets faster and more efficiently. The offset mounts feature UNC 6-32 threads and can be used with the adapter screws to M3/M4 threads.

The AM5 Adapter & Offset Mounting Kit also increases compatibility when mounting the CPU cooler when using the Thermal Grizzly Ryzen 7000 Direct Die Frame. Due to the changed mounting height for Direct cooling, the cooler has to be mounted lower, which is possible with the M3 and M4 adapter screws.

• For AM5 mainboards (see compatibility list)
• Offset mounting of the CPU cooler
• Increased compatibility with CPU coolers
• Easy construction

Note on compatibility with AM5 mainboards

In principle, the AM5 Adapter & Offset Mounting Kit is compatible with mainboards for the AM5 socket from AMD. 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 mount. To be more precise, there must be no components near the lower (pointing to the PCIe slots) cooler attachment.

There must be at least 6 mm of free space under the screws between the screws of the cooler attachment and high components such as pin headers or capacitors. After installation, if in doubt, ensure that the offset brackets or the adapter screws mounted in them do not come into contact with electronic components.
