Nice, could've got it cheaper elsewhere though.
I know, but OCUK are helping me with the H115i as a gesture of good will
Honestly I don't get is some people are blasting Corsair about the issue of not having a bracket that is free which is not all their fault they haven't got them ready but then are then spending another £100 on their product? If you are not happy with how they handled it there are better AIO coolers out there and even better air coolers tbh :/

Ah that explains why then after what I just said

Respect.
At the moment it doesn't look like its Corsair fault but the company that makes the round pump units, hence why its not just Corsair that are having issues.
Seems like Amd didn't give some company's enough time to design, test and then manufacture the parts needed for release or even the couple of weeks after.
I understand completely that there's a manufacturing issue and Asetek are probably the ones to blame for the lack of bracket.
However, Corsair handled this appallingly. When I ordered it was 1-2 weeks on their site and it still is now but is like to be 6 weeks in total. They sold them with a phoney date and complete lack of communication to their customers.
It's also frustrating that the CH6 supports AM3 brackets, but not really, as it depends on the cooler manufacturer it seems. So those, like me, that assumed that their cooler would would fine with AM3 bracket and backplate, got screwed.

I agree with you about how they have handled it. Just that most of the other AIO solutions are suffering the same issues (see Vakas post, Asetek is the company I was thinking of).
I'm in the same boat as you, I got the CH6 so it would work with my H105 with the AM3 backplate but for what ever reason its not 100% so between having a dodgy bios and not great cooling I got my self some led strips to cheer me up today
Aye I did say it isn't all their fault but it is the lack of clear communication and support from them which is frustrating. The ability to say
"sorry we didn't have the info from AMD so our supplier designed bracket and we was hoping to ship in two weeks of release but now we have found there is a design issue with certain boards and thus we are now waiting to get a different design and product to us to send to yourself and this will unfortunately be 4 weeks away now. Please accept our apologise and we are doing everything we can to resolve this."
That honestly although changes nothing in respect of getting it physically sorted goes a huge way in terms of customer relations and that is the end goal because that is how to keep customers returning. I shop with my feet and will move brand as needed when needed to get what I feel I should be getting for the money, that is all.
Am glad some resolution is coming from this for Rossi though as at least that is one where OcUK has resolved and gained 'X' number of customers by seeing a solution has been had for instance.
Please see OP for coolers currently available.
oops, sorry!! never checked the OP.
To be fair like a lot of people you automatically go the the last page especially when it's as long as this thread has become
Hey mate. It's cooler, but not as much as i would've hoped. A few questions if you will:
- Did you tighen the block down by hand or use a screwdriver?
- How much thermal paste did you use and what method?
- What reading is best in HWinfo? I heard it's the CPU reading under the motherboard section.
I've just got a 1800X, so I'm in the same boat as you. The 1800X is definitely a better chip than my 1700 in terms of voltage required for a certain clock speed.
I loosened the plastic bits attached to the board that you clip onto, just to allow me to get the pump connected loosely so it didn't keep slipping off. Once i had the pump attached loosely, i held it in place firmly and tightened down the black plastic with screws inside on each side until i could not turn them any more. Tighten hard, but don't over tighten or force it. Once that is done you can do the same for the pump, but apply a little more pressure this time when turning. That's it.
I changed the thermal paste and put a pea sized blob of GC Extreme in the middle.
Remember, 1800X has -20C offset. For example, turned the system on and at bios i was around 60c, but actually it was running at 40c.
Try changing this setting in the bios and it should take roughly -20c off your temps. Go to Tweakers Paradise and select Sensi MI Skew and enable it and in the box below type 282.
This is not exact, and the temp may be slightly higher/lower than what the actual reading but it takes in the region of 20c off the load temps and should help you maintain your system better regarding various fan speeds etc. I expect this will be addressed in a bios update before long.
This works for me for now though.
I've heard CPU reading under the Motherboard is more accurate, but Sensi MI Skew does not affect that. Nonetheless my tweak above should help the CTL temp be more accurate.
Cheers buddy.
Regarding the MI Skew, Elmor said that's included default on the latest BIOS's

I'm not sure i believe it, as i went from bios 40c-45c with my 1700 to 58-60c with my 1800X on the latest bios.
