Let me re-phrase, not blaming Corsair at all, just my lack of properly reading the manual; my manual is slightly different though. The brackets are located between 2 rubber pieces, the copper plate on top with screws. It says in my instruction manual to not loosen the copper plate to help get the brackets out (paraphrasing). Well I didn't see the not word, although losing the plate helped. I was afraid of pulling too hard and fucking something up. Just one of those dumb ass moments I suppose...?but I learned nonetheless. Thanks

Thanks, I'll read the instructions more carefully next time, not to mention I know just not to touch anything. ?. Learning...

I would estimate a tablespoon ish(15-20ml)

My first aio, have amd cpu so I had to swap out the existing Intel brackets that were already installed with the amd brackets. The instructions made it seem like I had to loosen the copper plate to swap out the brackets. Well when I did some fluid leaked out and I tightened those screws immediately. Anyway would it still be ok to use? I checked to see if there are any leaks after I tightened the copper plate back down. No leaks but I'm obviously new at this.....Corsair 115i 280mm
