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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, 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 mainboard's SAM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where the AM5 Short Backplate comes into play and serves as a mounting plate for the mainboard's SAM. This extends the cooler compatibility to a wide range of CPU coolers. To protect against short circuits, the anodised aluminium plate is additionally covered with an insulating layer of polycarbonate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with AM5 Mainboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased compatibility with CPU coolers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnodised aluminium with insulating layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thermal Grizzly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44649443098707,"sku":"CCTGSBR7000R","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/8841\/3523\/files\/TG-SB-R7000-R__07354.jpg?v=1779484327","url":"https:\/\/platinummicro.com\/products\/thermal-grizzly-tg-sb-r7000-r-am5-tg-am5-short-backplate","provider":"Platinum Micro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
