Priegorius Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Hello Good Corsair People SO I went on a insane task of fitting everything into a Phanteks Evolv Shift Air and custom looping it. With the exception of my aorus extreme 2080ti (yes its not meant to fit but here hold my beer ;) it does :P ) Im running a XD3 Pump Res, a XC7 cpu block, the usual fittings and adapters from corsair. Unfortunately ive had to go a different slimmer profile rad to make it all fit. I think im having a contact issue, the XC7 doesnt confirm compatibility with the Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro Wifi. Does anyone know out there if the XC7 waterblock is compatible? It was a tight fit and a little niggly but it went together when i put it in.

Corsair Employee Corsair GregX Posted May 19, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hi! Unfortunately, the XC7 RGB CPU Water Block (115X/AM4) is checked as not compatible. The reason is the backside clearance with backplate supplied with the CPU water block. Looking at this image, it's either clearance with a metal shim on the motherboard or most likely the electrical component (look on the left side near the mounting hole).

Priegorius Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Is the clearance a issue, due to the board being on the case holder? Im using a Phanteks Evolv Shift Air and had no issue fitting it other then the backplate holder was a little bit of a tight fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashtagAbe Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I can tell you that it does in fact work. I literally just installed the waterblock on my x570i board a couple Of days ago. No issues what so ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
