So basically from the CPU backplate bits falling off the backplate to the tubes being freaking long for MATX builds

My issue with this product are those

But the most frustrating is the fact that the tubes can't fit the air 240 case I know some will say "uhh the name of the case is what you're supposed to look at durr hurr use an air cooler hurr"

Well the retailer doesn't have an air cooler that fits in this damn case without hitting the side window... I so frustrated.... Can I like cut the damn tubes to fit the case or something? Corsair please make shit you make fit in your cases

Does your case not even fit a low profile CPU cooler? Those aren't that high. But if you are OC, do some research and check compatibility with your case before buying the liquid cooler...

Probably should have looked up the compatibility before buying it.

I did post about my specs compatibility on the forums and everyone said everything should be totally fine...

Did you use pcartpicker for the build? If so, can you link me if you still have it up?

I don't recommend cutting the tubes. You're going to have to return the cooler and figure out another solution. See if you can order a low profile air cooler online that fits inside the case.

I just ziptied the tubes into the body of the case... I hope it doesn't break lol

I've seen people put a H100i into a mini-ITX case before.  It was a total hack up job to the case and with the video card in there it was quite a squat-up gong show.  It was ugly to look at, but it worked.
