Hey guys!  :lol: 

 

So I just started building my first computer and I ran into a problem...

I'm installing a Corsair H100i on my motherboard the ASUS Z87 Maximus VI Hero with my i7 4770k. (case: Corsair Obsidian 750D)

So I started installing the backplate...and than I've put in the screws...annnnd than I ran into a problem I think...

The backplate and the screws kinda wiggled, so I checkt if the could be screwd more....no.

Than I just decidet to take the backplate off and go look at what I have done wrong.....

Annnnnnnnd, here's the problem I cant get the screws off. So I just wanted to see your sugestions and if by any possible chance they are ment to wiggle a little bit... I'm confused and would be verry happy if you guys could help me. :unsure: Thank you!post-3194-0-18713800-1384084140_thumb.jp

Put a cloth around the screws and take a pair of pliers and losen the screws with those. The cloth is so you won't damage the screws to much.

My h80 and h100 mounts kinda wiggle too even though their all the way tight so not the best design if you ask me.

My h100i had the same problem, as soon as you tension the screws from the water block it's going to be secure. It's a design error made by Corsair.

I have only ever used the h60 and h80 on an AMD platform, but as far as i know (because they both still come with intel mounting hardware), is it probably would be more secure after mounting. I recommend that you test mount with the current setup to determine if the block mounts well, or if something is stripped or missing.

For anything its always good to test fit and plan everything, research is key. Best of luck and good job on your PC building :)

Same thing happened to me. Everything works out okay though, so you should be fine.

you did nothing wrong, the slack is because the thickness of a motherboard can

vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and model to model.

 

finger tight stud poles and mount the controller/pump. snug down the thumb nuts.
