nothing special of R10 Ryzen socket. It is the same AM4 socket for zen, zen+, and zen2 Ryzen.
wiki: The AM4 socket specifies the 4 holes for fastening the heatsink to the motherboard to be placed in the corners of a rectangle with a lateral length of 54×90 mm.
I realized there is a significant physical limitation of air cooler height due to the swing arm psu. you will have to get a very low profile AM4 heatsink.
look at back side of R10 and clam shell swing arm psu. R10 closedR10 open
your air cooler can not be taller than the blue arrow in 1st pic. You can get a ruler to measure it. my crude estimate is less than 2x width of IO shield (44 mm). so blue arrow is about 80 mm. well, The NH-L9a-AM4 cooler with fan is 37 mm tall. it should fit.
R9/10 have same case. here is a pic of intel 1151 air cooler in R9. R9
@Anonymous @redxps630 somehow my last reply was detected as spam..here's the pic for my r10 3700x, the holes spacing are square. I had bad experience with liquid cooling, so i would rather go safe with air cooler, never thought the performance is so bad. cpu temp reaches 95C running my own simulation, 80+ for games. I'm considering get some super low profile air coolers.
