Converting EKWB to AMD

[mod_o_matic]

Hey all!
So im looking to convert a EKWB EK-Supremacy EVO X99 to be used with AM4 socket.

Will this kit work with the EVO? https://www.dazmode.com/store/shop/w...y-am4-upgrade/
Is there screws in the store that I'm missing? I can't seem to find that parts i need...

Thanks for any help! Reason I don't just order it from EK is at that price with shipping I'm better off to get a new block...

IIRC EK will send you a free AM4 bracket and thumbscrews if you email them and prove you have an EKevo supremacy. I don't know if they still have the offer but I got 3 brackets +harware for free last year.

Did your evo come with 8 mounting studs? I think the regular intel socket and amd socket share the same mounting posts but the x99 has different ones. I'm pretty sure you usually get them with your Evo, but its been a while and I've never had an X99 board. If you look here though there is the 2 different 'screws' listed.

edit: it also matters if you bought the cheaper 'X99' only block, or the universal block. if you bought this one:

then the mounting screws are attached with c-clips to the x99 bracket and cannot be easily changed. if you bought this one: (nickel/acetyl whatever)

then it comes with the posts you need to use that bracket in the box. Or at least it should have. You can still change the other one but you will need to buy the 'precise mount' and the bracket, as well as removing those cir clips which is actually a little difficult. I removed and replaced them to go from a black bracket to a nickel one but I would not recommend unless you are handy with tools.

Thanks for the info. I don't currently own the block someone is selling it and I was going to convert it if it saved me money. Iill see if they can email to ask about the free hardware ect as they have the box and proof of purchase.

Its the first block. From the pictures it has the c-lips.

The question is tho, does dazmode have the items in the shop to convert it? Or anyone one in Canad have it? I don't see the specific items listed the same way the EK support showed me.
You could use the X99 supremacy Evo with AM4, but you would need the following items to do so:
- Supremacy EVO mounting mechanism https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-suprema...semount-nickel
- Supremacy Backplate EVO https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-backplate-supremacy
- Supremacy AMD mounting plate https://www.ekwb.com/shop/mounting-p...macy-amd-black
Thats what i got in my email and i can't seem to find any of it anywhere in canada!
Thanks again for the info! Lets see if i can get free brackets!

Hi everyone, sorry to revive a old tread but, I have the original EK supremacy (not the X99) and was curious if the kit that Daz is selling will work with it (ek website seems to indicate it is specifically for the evo version. I know it is very minor changes from one blocks to another but, it doesn't take much for pressurize water to find it's way out and with the sparsity of pc hardware now a day, I rather limit my risk. Finally upgrading from the 5930k will fell good.

Hmmm I would ask EK directly to ne 100% certain. Which version do you have exactly and is it specifically for one platform or both?
