Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 1, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 1, 2011 Have you tried mounting it sideways? Looks like those caps are too close on the CPU, it might not work but worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antman11 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Also interested in knowing the outcome of this - did you have any luck wolfman?

peanutz94 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 . i wish they would more research to stop this happening. Guys they do as much research as possible to make sure these things work on as many sytems as possible. There just is no way for them to test it on EVERY single MB out there. Then you have the MB manufacturers. They have a certain standard they are supposed to adhear to when building MB's. But that standard does not include where they are required to place some components. So some have placed caps and such close to the socket. So it's not all entirely Corsairs fault.
