I bought this board + the AMD Ryzen 7 3800 CPU. I would like to replace the standard AMD cooler with the following: NZXT Kraken x62 incl. AM4 (5.50cm) (water cooling) Mounting method is backplane.

Is this possible?

Answer

According to the description, the cooler can be used on AM4, so it should fit. The mainboard already has a metal backplate mounted. I would recommend the standard fan from AMD if you don't want to overclock the processor, because it's not that loud. You can save yourself the CHF160.
