I think its not compatible with ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac
Can someone please confirm if there are compatibility issues?

You'd want to turn it another 90 degrees, so air exiting the fit stack don't get caught in the RAM.

Its not possible as the AM4 bracket only allows it to mount that way, same as the Noctua L9i AM4 bracket

sigh* can't they go the extra effort to make a proper bracket?

Can someone who have the motherboard or cooler please test it, wild guesses wont work for me...

Great, because i really don't want to buy a C7 at quadruple its price!

I just ordered one for my ASrock Phantom z390, just expecting it to fit haha.. Do you think there are compatibility issues?

Im 90% sure it wont fit, just need someone to confirm it on 100%, the AXP 90 is 97x97 mm. (on the box it states 97x92 whitch is misleading and wrong)
ASRock clearance is 95x95 same as the ASUS Strix Z390-I shown from the Chinese reviewer HERE

That's good, on 2mm is needed to shave off

Please test it as it is and share the results
When you expected to arrive?

The only way it fits on the phantoms

Does it push the RAM? I have 4400MHz RAM modules that are quite thick... so i may have a problem with that.
You are awesome, please share more pictures!

It does not touch the ram or the heatsink that I modded for my black ridge. I'm using the fan brackets it came with it on a 92mm noctua by grabbing it from the sides


If can solve the height issue with S4M. I will be making gaurd for the VLP ram transfer the heat around the RAM

I kinda noticed something, did you broke your VRM heatsink on the motherboard?
Seems it have less ribs than my.... This may be one of the reasons you are able to mount it

So luckily the heatsinkhad cutout that was the perfect angle to get a hacksaw. It was meant for the black ridge but I don't know if it helps with the. Axp90, either way the k ly tool you need is a hacksaw

 

[AURMEND]

Yeah, my PC isn't liking this axp-90, gonna switch back to the black ridge if applying thermal paste doesn't help

How is the mounting mechanism/pressure? Do you have any numbers to share?

I'll have the numbers soon maybe tomorrow

I give this cooler a thumbs up, it works as good as my Black Ridge without the need for VLP RAM or maybe cutting the z390 phantoms heatsink. The downside is that it too tall for the S4M w/ a noctua fan.
