Vasilis07 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I want to install the Corsair H110 on ASUS Maximus VI Hero.My questions it's about the backplate. The backplate (specific the right foam http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/content/5/2/5245_22_corsair_hydro_series_h110_aio_cpu_cooler_review.jpg) it's in contact with the motherboard in the specific part and i dont want to hurt my ASUS Hero VI. http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1723024/width/350/height/700/flags/LL Anyone has this combination to reply this situation ?

HOODedAssault Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Itll be fine. Personally id take that crap right off that backplate. Soooo hard to get off when I got my extreme z the guy I got it from had an h70 and was so much pressure on the board to rip that tape off and left a nasty residue. Pretty sure only reason its there is to line up the backplate for easy installion. If it wasnt for that it was just be foam not 2 sided tape.

NatNiks Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 After installing the H100i backplate on the MB with the standoff screws, the backplate is really loose; It has about 2mm free space. Is this acceptable ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curban422 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The corsair back-plate is just a terribly designed part. You didn't get the little push screws all the way in. The little screw anchors that go in the back-plate. I had it happen to me but I caught it before I tightened it down. I have and Sabertooth Z87 My back-plate is crooked. It doesn't go on there right. Mine is angled or slanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 the tape isnt conductive so theres no worry in using it,,i live by using this on most everything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJSEJS Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I have the H110 fitted with my old H80i backplate, fits much better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
