The future of the platform looks bright for both the company and consumers, with AMD CEO Dr Lisa Su stating in a recent group interview that "AM5 will be a long-lived platform as AM4 has been".

The next-generation socket design may even support AM5-compatible coolers, which means just about anything from recent years.

It's not just Noctua CPU coolers but also the mounting kits that will be AM5 compatible, the only model that won't work with AM5 will be the NH-L9a-AM4 and the NM-AM4-L9aL9i coolers.

Importantly, AM5 retains AM4 cooler compatibility. This means that your current cooler will stay relevant for many years to come. It avoids a situation like we saw with Intel’s LGA 1200/115x ...

The design of AM5 clearly suggests that there could be some backward compatibility with existing AM4 coolers. Previously, it was believed that switching to a Zen 4 CPU would require a new cooler.

In a recent interview with AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su said that the company has plans to keep the new AM5 platform around for a very long time, just like its AM4 socket has now -- which then had new ...

This is a notable bump from the AM4's 105W TDP and 142W PPT. That these new AM5 chips are compatible with current Socket AM4 coolers is probably the most surprising thing about these new chips.

The paper discloses that, with a CPU installed, Socket AM5 would line with the retention clip, and mount-hole spacing would be identical to that of Socket AM4 when the processor is installed.

The pump is powered by an 8th gen Asetek motor and supports Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, and 115X, as well as AMD's AM4 and AM5 sockets. Marke Campbell of OC3D reviewed the cooler.

I have an am5 processor that I have installed with an NH-L9a-AM4 L-type low profile cooler. It is supposedly compatible and there is an instruction video on YouTube. I followed it, however it is ...
