im buying a Ryzen 5 1600 and a Asrock AB350M pro 4 soon, i was wondering if my hyper Evo 212 from coolermaster would fit.. in the instructions it list AM4 but lots of people are saying it wont fit..
You may need to purchase a new back plate for the cooler on an AM4 motherboard: Upgrade Kit Compatibility. Scroll down a bit to find what you need.

thing that confuses me is on the box it says it supports Am4, and in the instructions it says it supports am4.. maybe i got a later year model of evo 212 with a diffrent bracket etc?

Possibly. Just be prepared to purchase the mounting bracket if you need to.

i mean rn im gonna be broke if i get this all XD Ryzen 5 1600, Asrock AB350m pro 4,
Corsair CX Series 650 Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certified Modular Power Supply,
G.Skill Flare X Series 16GB,
ARCTIC MX-4 - Thermal Compound Paste and still need a Hard drive and new case XD but ill have 20 ish bucks left from 500 which is my start lol
Of course, the easy solution is to not get the cooler until later. The Ryzen 5 1600 does come with it's own cooler which is sufficient for non-overclock use.
i have the cooler right now on my current pc, Amd a10 7850k etc, i think honestly right now i will save my money all together and not buy the pc, but i will do more research for the am4 socket adn this cooler lol
