Review on Idealforce AMD CPU Fan Bracket for AM4 (B350 X370 A320 X470) Socket Retention Mounting Bracket - Suitable for Hook-Type Air-Cooled or Partially Water-Cooled Radiators (B120/B240) by Jamie Behm

Doesn't work with stock Ryzen 3 2200G cooler

Doesn't work with stock AMD Ryzen 3 2200G cooler. As you can see from the picture, the bracket is too short to reach the screws on the radiator. This distance is too far to try to screw the screw in. If you're using a clip-on cooler that should be fine, for screw-on coolers I'd buy something else if available. The bearing bracket that came with my other identical motherboards had threads that protruded above the level of the motherboard where it sits flush. I had to tighten the screw with some intimidating pressure, and the plastic mount actually deformed my board just as I was screwing it in. It was supposed to be straight when I bolted it to the fuselage, but as I said, standard struts with other identical boards didn't need nearly as much pressure and they were metal.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
