Hi,
recently I bought a Asus Strix B350-F Gaming motherboard and a Ryzen 5 1600 Cpu. I also want to get an AIO watercooling loop but I can't really get one in my country that supports AM4 out of the box. I did notice that the motherboard seems to have a plastic part above and below the CPU socket that looks similar to the bracket that my old AM3+ heatsink mounted on.
Can anyone tell me what those plastic brackets are for? I was wondering if they could be adapters that would allow you to mount an AM3+ or some other type of heatsink to the Ryzen CPUs.
