Normal
i did finally get it to work. the process involved the separate am4 mounting kit to enable 90 degree rotation. but the heat pipes were poking my video card. i used some kapton tape as a temp fix. the 1060 i was using at the time didnt have a backplate, but i had a 2070 super that did, and there needed to be more clearance for that.so i had to eventually offset my mounting brackets (the ones that mount to the block) a few mm. the kit came with a spare set anyway it case it didnt work i could use the cooler elsewhere. the process involved 2 carbide drill bits and four hours with a set of diamond files and some longer m3 screws, nuts and washers (i intended to tap the holes, but the drill operation was to messy for that, had to clean it up with files and use the new hardware). the mod turned out to work gloriously. i think i lost some contact area, but it works.
