Really just as simple as ‘just don’t break the law’.

While there is a case to be made whether the death penalty is justified, the law was written and the offender should be aware of what happens if they’re caught. Since they broke the law and got caught, they don’t have much of a defence against the punishment. Applies to any country, not just Singapore.

AM5 and AM4 coolers use the same mounting hardware. According to Corsair, AM4 coolers are compatible with AM5 motherboards so I’d expect the opposite to apply.
