    For a minute there, I was thinking you were referring to a different AIO solution, one where the pump and radiator are mounted on the heat sink and blows the hot air into the case. I tried one of those a while back and was not impressed.

    Ugh. I see one thing right off that I HATE. That circular alternating clamp format. Coursair uses the same thing on their lower-end stuff, like the H70. Trying to apply pressure, while twisting, while trying to seat the screws, all while avoiding air bubbles in the thermal paste, is impossible! The design for the H80 or H100 is much better.

    SWEET! Someone should have done this a long time ago. 140mm fans can be a lot quieter then their 120mm cousins.

    @Zombie: Mounting cooling blocks that use a ring style clamp is really not that much harder. The trick is NOT to follow Corsair's instructions.

    Instead of having all four clamp screws started (partially threaded) into the mounting bracket, you start with just any two adjacent screws with about 3~4 turns. This way you can lift the clamp slightly to pivot it, then feed the cooling block passed the clamp until one edge of the cold plate makes contact with the CPU. From that point of contact, you gently pivot the block and clamp onto the rest of the CPU using as little downforce as possible. If the block slides a tad, do not worry. Once you have make full contact with the CPU you can center the block (without lifting it), lightly twist block so it catches the ring clamp and then start the two remaining screws. Finally, in a crisscross pattern, give each screw 2~3 turns until the clamp is fully seated. And remember there is no need to torque the screws just use the "Two Finger" method with the screwdriver held between thumb and index finger. When the screwdriver begins to slip, the screw is tight enough.

    @zombie No panic, keep calm. I panic long ago.
