Meanwhile, an AM3 CPU will work in either an AM2 or an AM2+ socket! But whichever CPU you are using on whichever motherboard, you will find that the CPU socket and surrounding plastic frame are actually the same for all sockets. Therefore if a cooler will physically fit AM2 then it will also fit the other sockets.
What is the fan speed of an AM4 CPU cooler?
The CPU cooler is compatible with a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets, including AM4. The CPU cooler comes with a slim 120mm PWM fan having a width of 20mm only, which is 5mm less than of standard 120mm PC fan. It spins at speed of 600 – 1800 RPM but does get noisier at full speed (32.4dBA).
