HappyBuddhaman Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Just an FYI, avoid Corsair products at all costs. Their products just blew a $350.00 motherboard of mine, and they won't do a thing about it. NEVER, under any circumstances, use such an over-hyped, overpriced product of theirs.

ThermalMike Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Dang, sorry to hear about your mb. Will the mb manufacture warranty it for you? Hope for the best for you man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyBuddhaman Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 The MB manufacturer, ASUS, won't do anything, and needless to say I've raised #### with Corsair, so, we'll see where that goes. Had an AIO pump go bad on me (surprisingly the Water 3.0 Extreme), was able to return that to the retailer, and in a pinch picked up the Corsair H100iGTX model. Apparently, they have issues with some motherboards, the cooling block will not sit properly on the MB and will leave a 1/4 inch gap, I only found this out AFTER installing it, and people on their forums have complained to Corsair about it, and recommend using rubber washers on the back of the MB to make it fit. Well, needless to say that's not happening, so I go to take the thing off, and the screws got stripped while #### them in place. Now I have a water block on a $350.00 MB that I can't remove. After hours of MB surgery, I finally get it off, and what happens? Scratched a tracer. MB is dead, and un-replaceable because it's an X-97 model. Lovely. Find on Amazon an updated Water 3.0 Extreme, (BEAUTIFUL!! Those Riing fans are so quiet and the mounting hardware is 1000 times better!!), and found a Gigabyte Gaming 7 MB, so my PC is back up and running, but I'm going after Corsair like a #### shark. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
