Which version of the cooler is being sold here? According to the Reddit thread below, there is supposed to be a "Rev. D" that is compatible with AM5 without having to replace the motherboard's backplate first. https://www.reddit.com/r/FormD/comments/1binhot/alpenf%C3%B6hn_blackridge_updated_for_am5_rev_d/

For me, it came with the AM5 mount, among other things.

Do you have revision D compatible with AM5? https://www.reddit.com/r/FormD/comments/1binhot/alpenf%C3%B6hn_blackridge_updated_for_am5_rev_d/

As I have read, the Black Ridge is delivered without an AM4 backplate. This can quickly lead to the motherboard bending. Does anyone know of a compatible backplate that is available separately?

This may not answer the question completely, but for AMD-based systems there also seem to be other restrictions according to the manufacturer's website, especially with Mini ITX mainboards from the manufacturers ASrock, Gigabyte and MSI. The product Alpenföhn Alpenföhn Mounting Set Blackridge AM4 for AsRock and Gigabyte should increase the compatibility with Mini ITX mainboards from ASRock and Gigabyte. Other tested matching accessories are unfortunately not specified by our suppliers.

No. It didn't work for me. Only one direction. I have the Asus Strix B-550 mini-itx board.

Fractal Design specifies the maximum height for the CPU fan as 5.6cm, so yes.

There is a mounting set for AsRock and Gigabyte mainboards from Alpenföhn. Will they include this or be able to offer it separately?

According to the data sheet, RAM bars with a maximum height of 33mm fit under the cooler with a 92x92x15mm fan. What about the second possible setup of 120x120x15mm fan? Can I simply subtract the 15mm height from the fan and arrive at a RAM height of 18mm? Would an 18.8mm RAM bar fit underneath or is this too high? e.g. the following product -> https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/kingston-memory-ddr4-8gb-2400mhz-non-ecc-1x-8gb-ddr4-2400-dimm-288-ram-11283372

Hello. With the 2 variant, 120x120x15, you need VLP memory (e.g. https://www.memorycow.co.uk/kingston-kvr24n17s8l-8-8gb-ddr4-2400mhz-non-ecc-vlp-memory-ram-dimm ). Which CPU do you have? I assume you have a small form factor case.
