You can use the backplate of your first generation Ryzen cooler

I just upgraded my Ryzen 5 1500x to a Ryzen 7 3700x. I ran into a problem that almost everyone who has done this process has had. I lost my brackets to hold the new Wraith cooler. So I bought them for my Asus Prime 370x-A motherboard and they worked great with the old backplate. Which I was very happy about because the one they send you is made of hard plastic. Also, if you're reading this and worried that your AM4 370x series motherboard isn't working, don't worry! You just need to update your bios to the latest version. Just make sure you do this BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR NEW CPU. I also suggest doing this with a USB stick. The USB method reduces the chances of breaking your motherboard. Quick Review: These brackets work really well with the Ryzen 7 3700x Wraith cooler. These brackets work very well (fit like a glove) with an Asus Prime 370x-A motherboard. Welcome <3
