How can I get my Arctic Freezer 36 cooler to fit my Ryzen CPU?
Asked by

I've just purchased an Arctic Freezer 36 Black CPU cooler for my setup, but ran into a problem during installation. It didn't come with the AM4 screws that I need! I'm using an Asrock B450M/ac motherboard with a Ryzen 5 5600X processor. While I do have the mounting bracket, I can't find the screws since my stock cooler used a different type with springs. I'm waiting on a reply from customer support, but I'm looking for a backup plan in case they don't help me out.

It sounds like you're missing the AMD screws. Usually, you should have 4 longer screws specifically for AM4 installs, and it’s odd that they didn’t include them. Double-check the box thoroughly since sometimes they can be tucked away.

ChillPanda47: Yeah, I found the Intel screws, but no sign of the AMD ones! Seems like this version might just skip them altogether based on the manual.
