Will the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 work with the GIGABYTE B650M DS3H (rev. 1.0)?
Yes. Both use AMD AM5 cooler mounting.
Both records are reviewed against the manufacturers' sources; sources last checked 2026-10-14. Informational only: confirm with the manufacturer before buying.
Why
- ✓ Both use AMD AM5 cooler mounting.
Good to know
- Noctua: AM4 and AM5 share the same stack-up height and backplate thread pattern, so coolers that use the standard AMD backplate carry over; Corsair likewise says AM5 uses the same cooler bracket size as AM4.
- Exception: coolers that replace the AMD backplate (Noctua NH-L9a-AM4, NM-AM4-L9aL9i) cannot be fitted to AM5.
- Older Noctua coolers without AM4 hardware need the NM-AM5/4-MP83 or NM-AM5/4-MP78 kit (free with proof of purchase).
- Offset mounting bars (e.g. Noctua's AM5 offset bars) are optional accessories that shift the heatsink toward the CPU hotspot; they are not required for fitment.
- Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition (RR-212S-20PK-R2): AM5 brackets are included only in later production; some units ship without them.
