Alcasczar Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 So I have both these coolers, currently there is no temp issues but when installing the backplate to the Mb I felt it to be nerve wracking cause it feels like there is too much play when you're mounting the pump on them. I saw some videos that some guy used some rubbery type washer items around the supplied screws but that to me feels like it would create a gap between the coldplate and CPU IHS resulting in some uncomfortable temps XD. Is there a guide here that will give some pointers? I read the FAQ and it doesn't mention anything about it. Again I am not seeing temp issues I just have a mild concern about it and I only buy ASUS boards and Intel CPUs if that helps :P Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hmmm ... I should add this to the FAQ. The play is absolutely, positively, 100% normal. When you tighten the pump head down, there won't be any play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 The backplate will always be loose until you tighten down the thumbscrews. Also the backplate’s function is weight distribution, more like hanging a picture than bolting it against the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
