Franzi Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hello there I would like to know if the new H80i uses the same Backplate and Mounting Screws like the H80 did (LGA1155). I'm asking this because I might uprade my H80 to the H80i and try to avoid removing the Motherboard for the Installation if possible. My H80 works fine but does this odd pump noise and since the H80i performs a little better i'm about to order, just need to know this please. Thanks in Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anth0789 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I think so they will fit since I got some spare H100 screws and the fit exactly like the H100i on my LGA 1155 mobo, I'm pretty sure thy are the same since I got this kit for my H100i since some screws broke on me. http://www.corsair.com/en/parts/cooling-parts/hydro-series-h60-h80-h100-universal-bracket-kit.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash_0 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The backplates are not exactly the same but the H80i will fit on the H80's backplate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franzi Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Thanks for the replies I looked up a few reviews of both trying to find pics of the backplates: H80: http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/1507/h80-accessories_575px.jpg H80i: http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_05511.jpg Looks somewhat identical but I couldn't tell for sure. I will see if I can reach the backplate, my case (Silverstone FT-02) has a window behind the CPU for an easier installation of coolers. The length of the mounting screws might be important as well I better compare both once the H80i arrived. Offtopic question: Is the Corsair Link just an optional feature? I have no plans to install any extra software, fans would be running at 100% or lowered by resistors. Thanks again and best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 the corsair link is integrated in the h80I but you can still use it without the link,you will just have some features unavailable without the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 30, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 30, 2013 There only two differences between those bracket kits, the H80 backplate will support socket 775 and the H80i will not but you can use the H80 backplate using the H80i if your MB is socket 775. The H80i bracket kit comes with the magnetic retention bracket that holds the pump and the H80 kit does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franzi Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks, I already installed it with the whole new mounting kit that came with the H80i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StealthGaming Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yes, it will work. H60, H80 and H100 use the same designed bracket. Additional mounting hardware can be bought through Corsair store for $9.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
