So My h80i is slowly dieing temps are going up pump is getting louder and im out of warranty. i had a bunch of issues with my h80i first with the back-plate being loose, the fix for that was to add washers and now this, oh an corsair link is a pile of crap, so my next question is what should i replace it with i been looking at a h105 but does that have the loose backplate of doom aswell? i know it does not have corsair link so that's a big bonus aswell for me or do you guys got another idea or product i should look at.

i prefer NZXT coolers, they are the same acetec coolers, but NZXT's CAM software is alot better than corsairlink

Does NZXT have the loose back-plate of doom?

well if corsair has it, then perhaps all AiOs have it since all of them exept the enermax liqtech are acetec rebrands.

 

speacking of enermax liqtech, forget corsair, forget NZXT, get the Enermax LiqTech 240

NZXT are good. It took me a lot of searching to try to figure out which has the most silent pump on the available AIO coolers. I knew I was going to replace the fans anyway so I didn't care how much noise they made. I just wanted the most silent pump. Turned out that was the Nepton 280L (at the time). There may be something even better by now, not sure. 140mm are usually more silent with better airflow also.

i7-3770K @ 4.5GHz, ASRock Z77 Extreme4, G.Skill Sniper 8GB DDR3 1866 @ CL9, ASUS GTX 780, CM HAF XM, Samsung 850 Pro 256GB, WD Black 1TB x 2, EVGA SuperNOVA G2 850W, BenQ XL2420TE 24" 144Hz @ 1080p, CM Nepton 280L, Noctua Industrial IP67 2000RPM 140mm PWM Fan x 6

Nah, the H105 is solid, that is just the H100i and H80i.  Buy the H105 with confidence if that is the one you have your eye on.
