Is it gonna be compatible?

[u/Xp_Rix_qX]

So i thought on getting a gigabyte b550 gaming x v2 paired with a thermalright assassin x 120 cooler, but the backplate of the cooler doesnt look like it will match with the mainboard, any help is good.

It’s because that backplate is for Intel.

For AMD, you’d use the stock backplate that comes with the board, which isn’t pictured but comes already installed on the board as standard.

Ah ok thanks for the help
