Thermal Grizzly AMD AM5 Short Backplate TG-SB-R7000-R

Description:Backplate to extend cooler compatibility for AM5 motherboards from AMDProperties:The AM5 Short Backplate is a shortened mounting plate that replaces the original AM5 backplate. Some CPU coolers compatible with the AM4 socket use a custom retention kit for mounting. Since the AM4 backplate is primarily used for mounting coolers, omitting this backplate is generally not a problem.However, with the AM5 socket, the Socket Actuation Mechanism (SAM) is also screwed on via the backplate and cannot simply be omitted. In order to usean AM4-compatible cooler with a custom retention kit, you need an alternative holder for the SAM of the motherboard.This is where the AM5 Short Backplatecomes into play and serves as a mounting plate for the SAM of the motherboard.This extends the cooler compatibility to a wide range of CPU coolers. To protect against short circuits, the anodised aluminium plate is additionally coveredwith an insulating layer of polycarbonate.Unit Value/Description- Length: 68 mm- Width: 65mm- Height: 3 mm- Material: Anodised aluminium, polycarbonate
