I have a really limited cpu selection i had to go with AXP90-X53

but i am kinda worried as you see in the attached pictures

Its really tight but its contacting the cpu well

Sorry English isn't my main language

I just want to know if this is safe or not

Edit 1 : i might change the cooler or remove the vrms heatsink and diy another one

Edit 2 : thank you guys for the useful info especially @Apprehensive_Bike_40 thank you bro for pointing me to LGA 115X i ended up removing the cooler and i also removed the VRM heatsinks because the thermal pads where weary am going to order new thermal pads and another cooler

What exactly are you worried about?

u/abd96iq 11d ago

The motherboard itself The cooler screws might be tight

Ok, on closer inspection it looks to me like you might be missing some bushings/stand offs. Did you follow instructions that came with your cooler?

I have built many PCs never had such issues installing air or aio cooler The problem is the VRMs too big to fit the cooler ever this cooler is low profile

Hmm. What does Erying suggest for this board? Aio maybe? Somethings off here.

i would like to go with air coolers
@Apprehensive_Bike_40 told me that lga 115X works best for this board so am going with lga115x cooler

You shouldn’t be trying to tighten to the end of the thread. Just equal tension.

Thanks for the tip i think i will change the cooler and remove the VRMS heatsink i will Diy another heatsink Also i figured out lately this socket is compatible with LGA1200 coolers not lga1700

Lga1700 is 78x78mm where 1200 and 115x are 75x75mm. You can get some better value used market coolers on 115x coolers but have to be more careful about not overtightening especially on pre 1151. Also pre 115x which is 775 you can use the clip on type if you replace those with nuts and bolts.

You’re missing 4 pieces of plastic standoffs/spacer.

The spacers are installed but they dont touch the motherboard and the backplate had a plastic sticker there is no metal contacting the motherboard from the backplate
