NZXT Kraken Z73
Question about NZXT Kraken Z73
Will it fit on an AM5 socket?
Helpful answer
Yep, it fits, but according to NZXT you can order an AM5 kit free of charge with a receipt for the AM5 mainboard and AIO. I've been waiting for it for a week, got feedback yesterday that my ticket is being processed and it will take about 3-4 days.
The AM5 kit is supposed to give a stronger contact pressure on the CPU and thus provide a few degrees better cooling.
Currently have a 7950X with the cooling and get 40-45° at 105W Eco mode at idle and about 75° on the CPU when gaming. Water temp steady at about 30°.
I'll give more feedback as soon as I have more info.

According to the following article, a special bracket is required for the AM5 socket.
