Hi everyone,
Title pretty much sums up the question. I've actually purchased a Corsair H80i to stick on my new i7-4770, but it doesn't even fit on the Gigabyte H87N-WIFI!
See the picture here http://www.gigabyte.com.au/fileupload/product/2/4600/8173_m.jpg
See the line of six resistor caps just above where it says "dual LAN, hdmi/dvi"?
The H80i cooler sits crooked on the cpu because one side of it is leaning on these caps!
GRRRRRR.
I've temporarily fixed the problem by using heaps of thermal paste, and getting idle temps of about 40C, with load temps in the 70s. Still not good! Would rotating the waterblock 90 degrees help with anything?
Do ANY of you know of ANY all-in-one coolers that would fit this motherboard? I was thinking that the Corsair H90 might be a better fit... if not are there any other air coolers that one would recommend? Please help, as I want to send back the H80i asap
Cheers,
Antoni
