Thermal Grizzly AMD AM5 Short Backplate

Description: Backplate to extend cooler compatibility for AM5 motherboards from AMD Properties: The AM5 Short Backplate is a shortened mounting plate that replaces the original AM5 backplate. Some CPU coolers compatible with the AM4 socket use a custom retention kit for mounting. Since the AM4 backplate is primarily used for mounting coolers, omitting this backplate is generally not a problem. However, with the AM5 socket, the Socket Actuation Mechanism (SAM) is also screwed on via the backplate and cannot simply be omitted. In order to use an AM4-compatible cooler with a custom retention kit, you need an alternative holder for the SAM of the motherboard.This is where the AM5 Short Backplate comes into play and serves as a mounting plate for the SAM of the motherboard.
