  1. I'm not positive, but I don't think that kit came with the pump standoffs for the LGA1700 socket. Many of us are awaiting shipping on our kits from Corsair (China). This is what it says on Amazons sales page for your AIO - "Compatible with the new Intel LGA1700 with purchase of CW-8960091 or CW-8960093 spare parts". The standoffs for the LGA1200 are 1mm too tall, and while they can work, they don't provide adequate downforce for the pumphead to the CPU, which can/will result in higher than average temps.
  2. Mine shipped this morning, and I'd noticed that most of the updates occur overnight. I found this odd, given Corsair US customer service hours, American tech culture, and locations (LA and Atl). Yeah, it's shipping from Kwun Tong District in Hong Kong. It could be worse, I guess. At least the kit I ordered on Ebay from Israel shipped from the Netherlands yesterday afternoon, so it "should" update somewhere stateside today and be delivered by Monday at the latest (fingers crossed).
  3. My standoffs from Corsair directly ($5) are currently "Reserved", and the set I ordered from Israel off of Ebay (I'm in Atlanta, Ga.) for $20 + $22 shipping are currently in-route. Expected on the 4th of April. Maybe they'll both get here around the same time.
  4. I ordered mine a week ago (pn# cw-8960091) and it still hasn't been processed. TBH, I initially considered just throwing this AIO in one of my kids air-cooled rigs and buying something 100% LGA1700 compatible right out of the box, but the choices are so slim, that none of them meet my needs (240mm, mag fans, NO RGB), I still have the parts on order, but to leverage my bet, I also ordered the kit this morning from Israel on Ebay for $20 plus $22 expedited shipping. I believe I'll get those from half a world away than I will from Corsair-US. I didn't really want to pay the extra, but considering that I saved 10% on my processor/PSU, and 5% on everything else, I'm technically financially ahead of the game right now. Do better, Corsair!
