Hey everyone, I'm new here! I'm about to do a soft rebuild on my computer at Best Buy, where they'll be upgrading my ASUS motherboard, CPU, RAM, and storage. I got a new 3080 12GB, PSU, and AIO system added last November.
I'm currently searching for an AM5 mounting bracket for my Deepcool Castle 360EX AIO cooler, but I can't find any buying options on Aliexpress. I emailed Deepcool about this earlier today, but haven't heard back yet. It looks like the product might be out of stock on Aliexpress, and I can't reach out to the seller since their address seems invalid. I remember Deepcool used to provide free AM5 socket mounts for AM4 AIO owners, but it seems like that opportunity has passed. The only thing holding me back from using my cooler is this bracket. Should I just wait for restocks, buy a new AIO that works with AM5 out of the box, or does someone happen to have the mount I can buy?

Just a heads up, Deepcool hasn’t been able to sell products in the US for a while, so it might be tough to find that mounting kit. You might want to check eBay for options or consider just picking up a new AIO.
You can actually use the AM4 mount as it’s pretty much the same as AM5! Just make sure to double-check compatibility. If you run into any trouble, let me know!
Oh really? I had no idea that the mounts were interchangeable!
Can you really use the AM4 hardware with AM5? I still have the AM4 bracket from my Deepcool cooler.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll check eBay!
