Hey all,

I currently have an X99 build and I’m upgrading to AM5 and was wondering if I could reuse my current water block.

My current water block is the EKWB Supremacy Evo https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-supremacy-evo-white-edition?srsltid=AfmBOoqTFBJBK8VsAWo6DYLE5ha2uiIVR7ssdjjENkIyE1mO2IVOtk0R

I was wondering if I bought an AM4 backplate like below whether this would support AM5 https://www.docmicro.com/en/waterblocks_cpu-waterblock-mounting_EK-Supremacy-EVO-Backplate-(LGA-115x,-AM4)_14749.html?srsltid=AfmBOoowe_3eM-IDzShHshZU6EatWcDQSB-oaoXbN-8PInXdnC-TmoNs

Also, is it even worth it? I don’t know if water block technology has improved that much over the last year. Just trying to save myself £70 on a new water block.
