"With the new generation of AMD processors comes a new CPU socket type, AM5. Unfortunately, this new socket has changed the mounting height and our previous AMD brackets do not safely support it. Soon, NZXT will begin offering a new bracket to safely support the new AM5 socket for all our cooling products. Even though the AM4 bracket will fit, NZXT recommends using the new AM5 bracket to prevent possible damage to your components."

    Have to say it is really frustrating to have a complete new build only to have to wait for NZXT to ship out the bracket.   They made you provide a receipt for the MoBo in order to qualify, so even though I have all of my stuff, I can't cool the 7950 with my Kracken Z73 RGB ...I hope they start shipping it soon!
