Bad mounts - fans and cooling

One of the thumbscrews on my radiator broke while tightening it. You can't buy the screw yourself, you have to spend $20 for a complete hardware set. The clasps are of fairly poor quality and snap easily. Ok Corsair. You're better than that. This is Corsair's only disappointing experience in eight years.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Can work with H115i. But it requires

This is an OEM mounting bracket for Intel CPU coolers, although you'll need a few screws of a different type to adapt it to the h115i Pro cooler, which is also made by Corsair.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • alt

Suitable for H100i v2 in Computer components

This works with H100i v2. However, you have to loosen the screws on the back a bit. The thumbscrews on top hold them in place. I like the metal finish of the screws and posts.

Pros
  • Ideal for small households
Cons
  • Some difficulties

But it worked a bit.

Slight play in the backplate caused the water block to offset enough that it could not dissipate heat properly. I installed this mount on a machine that was used very little and didn't notice any movement at first, but after regular use the CPU temperature increased dramatically. Turns out it wasn't passing the heat properly and had to be replaced.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Blank

Left is an old part I broke and right is a part I ordered. Totally different and not compatible. If I plugged it in unchecked my CPU would probably never cool down and there would be an air gap. If the product doesn't fit, you can say so clearly. I bought it based on the seller's comment but was disappointed. waste of time. Question: Is this compatible with LGA 1200? Answer: The LGA 1200 uses the same mount as the 115x mount. In short, yes it is compatible. Coincidentally March 7, 2021

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Fits older H100i Corsair Aio

Just what you need to use an older H100i (2012-2014 model) with a square water block. The rubber feet on the motherboard bracket are slippery, so if they don't fit, they'll need to be adjusted. Works perfectly. However, the shorter pins have a different thread size on one end and cannot be used with either kit. I've used the long ones and had no problems.

Pros
  • Complete Kit
Cons
  • Negative
