Corsair confirms that their cooling products already support AMD's new AM5 CPU socket, and that optimised DDR5 memory modules are on the horizon
Following AMD's confirmation that they will be revealing their Ryzen 7000 series of Zen 4 processors on August 29th, Corsair has revealed that all of their AM4 compatible CPU coolers are already socket-compatible with AMD's new Ryzen 7000 series processors and AM5 series motherboards.
AMD has designed AM5 to use the same mounting holes as their AM4 socket, allowing existing CPU coolers to be forward compatible with AMD's newest motherboard platform. All current Corsair CPU coolers support AMD's Am5 socket, including their Elite LCD series, their ELITE Capellix series, and their standard Elite series.
In addition to their support for socket AM5, Corsair has also confirmed that they will soon be launching optimised DDR5 memory modules, which will be designed to deliver optimal performance with AMD's new Zen 4 processors. We expect these memory modules to run at optimal frequency ranges for AMD;'s latest Ryzen processors, offering a good balance between pricing, performance, and module capacity.
What follows is Corsair's Press Release regarding its AMD Ryzen 7000 series/AM5 support.
