Review on 🌬️ Cryorig SP AM4: Optimal Cooling Fan for PC Performance by Anthony Heinrichs

Too bad they don't pack this in their coolers now that AM4 has been out for years. But that's not why I gave 2 stars. This is because it is poorly designed. I love that you can mount the cooler with the plate in any of the 4 directions which is good compared to many others. So that's the only reason it's not 1 star. The reason it's so awful is that if you attach the bolts to a standard AM4 backplate, they don't tighten down on the board. So the whole thing can move 3-4mm until you have a cooler that pulls everything together and tight. However, this loose attachment makes it very difficult to get two spring bolts into the shackle, as the shackle is about 3-4mm below where it will be when tightened. So you have to work hard to drive the spring bolts in deep enough to start the thread. This is the case with the C1, but others would have similar problems, although perhaps not as severe as tower coolers, which at least show the screws you want to attach to the bracket, which is 3-4mm below the bracket where he should be. This can easily be fixed by inserting rubber washers between the studs and the top of the board to keep it from moving when in place. But what is happening now is driving me insane. This is the worst Mount Cryorig ever delivered.
