Please nobody listen to this uneducated post. Offset mounting on AM5 CPUs has been widely proven to be a superior mounting position for cooling those chips (not as big performance improvement on AM4 chips). Don't listen to this person who doesn't know what they are talking about. Please do your own due diligence and research the cooler for yourself. Watch and/or read reviews from multiple different legitimate sources.
1 - 3 degree C is a fAr sUpEriOr dEsiGn, totally not a gimmick bro, trust me.
Riddle me this then - why did the other cooler that I purchased after, which was clearly a superior build and mounted flawlessly, completely cover the CPU? Hmmm... clearly it's an inferior cooler
Can't blame you too much, at face value it looks really bad. Knew Arctic would get returns based on them making it default with no way alternative. I mean logically covering the entire IHS is ideal, everyone knows that. But it has to do with the microfins behind the copper plate being better aligned with the area on amd cpu's most heat generating area.
Not sure what you mean about the standoffs not being high enough nor do I remember what the install is but did you take off the vrm fan?
But both of your complaints I think could have been fixed by reading the manual if in box or on their website.
Thanks for the thought - but yes, I mounted correctly (been building systems since the i386 / 486 days

Okay well you jogged my memory but the video said amd's mounting hardware was hard to get the threads to bite in correctly. I decided to not upgrade even though the price is great since this is the first run and there will be issues like you had. Even though i'm happy to not have the entire ihs covered, would be cool if they made the copper plate bigger on revision models too.
If you want the AIO for aesthetics or for your case design that's one thing, but I've been piecing together a 7800 build and I'm planning on using a tower air cooler

All I know is that if you were actually educated in the design of this product (and many others designed for AM5) that you would have known the offset was intentional. Instead of making it sound like it was poor quality engineering/manufacturing that it doesn't fit on the cpu correctly. Fyi it pays to read. I never said this cooler was superior to your nzxt. All I said was that on AM5 the offset mounting design is proven to be superior to the previous style mounting position. No denying facts buddy. Multiple companies and review outlets have proven this. 1-3 degrees celcius improvement is still better than 0 degrees. I will say though that they should have done what they did with the gen 2 liquid freezer and provided both mounting options to let the user decide.
Have fun with your nzxt kraken though! Again, just so it's very clear, I'm not saying one is better than the other. This what competition is all about. There are multiple great options out there for people to choose from.

So now I'll probably be grabbing a 360 Arctic to get more silence out of things.
I purchased the 240mm III cooler for my socket AM4 build. Engineering garbage. The cooler plate does not fully cover the CPU, leaving around 3 - 4mm exposed. It also only comes with one size of standoffs that are not high enough making it impossible to tighten. And if you do - fine metal shavings start coming out of the cheap hardware. This thing is outrageously bad.
Went out and bought an NZXT Kraken. It was a breeze to mount. Total quality. And it even came with two different sized standoffs for AM5 / AM4, imagine that!
Here is ii and 14th gen

I am coming from 9th gen Intel that is air cooled. So I'm out of the loop.
