MSI's CPU Liquid Coolers are ready for AMD's Ryzen 7000 series
MSI has confirmed that all of their liquid coolers will support AMD's upcoming Socket AM5 (LGA1718) CPU socket, allowing them to support AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7000 series processors.
AMD's Ryzen 7000 series will utilise the company's Zen 4 CPU architecture, and transition AMD to an HPC optimised version of TSMC's 5nm lithography node. These two changes alone should give AMD's Ryzen 7000 series a hefty performance boost, and AM5's support for many AM4 compatible CPU coolers should make upgrading to AM5 a relatively simple process.
MSI's MEG, MPG and MAG Coreliquid series CPU coolers will all support AMD's AM5 socket without the need for new mounting brackets or other hardware changes. These coolers will support AM5 out of the box.
Below is what MSI had to say regarding their support for AMD's AM5 CPU socket.
AMD Socket AM5 (LGA1718) is the next-generation socket designed to support next-generation AMD Ryzen 7000 desktop processors (Zen 4). AMD Socket AM5 uses the same liquid cooler bracket as Socket AM4. This allows you to upgrade to and enjoy AM5 without buying a new liquid cooler. MSI liquid coolers all support AMD Socket AM5, for specifics please refer to the chart below:
