New AM4 bracket available! Claims to fix the issue with at least the Gigabyte and ASRock b450 motherboards.

I've been getting in the 4700ish range generally. Gigabyte x570 itx, ABBA bios, no changes in bios for the CPU (did a lot of tweaking previously, but with all the bios flashing I've been doing, I can't be bothered to tweak it even more until the bios releases slow down)

Update on the Black Ridge + Gigabyte x570 itx situation:

I have no concept of how hot 11-15 watts of heat is on a chip that size. Kinda scared to!

In case people weren't sure of what I was trying to describe with offsetting the 92mm fan to make it work with the Gigabyte x570 itx board, I made a paint drawing. http://imgur.com/tZCl8hr Any other suggestions for the heatpipe-side screws? Thought about glue, not sure I want to go that...

Yes, this heatsink can be removed. You have to do so to install the m.2. My assumption though is that this heatsink is going to be a requirement for the new chipset to not overheat. Afterall, every x570 board except for one has active cooling for the chipset, and that one is still passively...

I'm really hoping that I can make the Black Ridge work on an x570 itx board, but the manufacturers sure are making it tough! Thought I'd come to here to share what my research has dug up: The gist of it is, ASUS and ASRock look like they are definitely not going to work. The chipset...

Hahaha, you're a legend! Thank you so much. Just wanted to confirm that the mod wasn't actually that mind-blowing :)

PantherB or anyone else that has done so, is it possible to take a picture of the modification you had to do to the AM4 bracket? Even just a paint diagram of the piece you had to Dremel/bend would be awesome. Thanks! SaperPL erPL tagging you as well as I'm looking at the new gigabyte 570 and...
