You were a little quiet, so I had to turn on the automatic subtitles. I wasn't disappointed. 5:00 "Then you're just going to go from the top to bottom and then start screaming" The radiator installation summed up.
I just purchased this cooler from Amazon for $80 and microcenter wants to charge me $60 to install it. You've made look simple so i think im going to try to install it myself. Great video.
At 6:42 your plugging the CPU fan header, that has 3 slots, into a 4 pin connector on the motherboard...is this correct ??? Following your video every second of the way and its been super helpful
Really helped me in that I have the same exact case. Upgrading CPU, MOBO and CPU FAN. So needed to know if this one will fit my case and how it will look. I was initially worried that my over sized zotac GPU would be in the way of the radiator. Looks like I will have plenty of room as the radiator does not go past the red plate that covers the wiring.
Thanks, your video literally solved something i have been wondering for years and never figuref out... The use of the 2 header ports coming from the cooler 😂
3rd radiator install method- mount case fans on front with long screws- long screws are long enough to go into radiator as well. Mount pull fans to inside of radiator for push/pull :D
I have the same case but I have the 140mm fans. The top fan cannot screw in but it is in a very stable position and doesn’t move. It still preforms well. Just letting y’all know if you’re looking to do this too but with larger fans
Newbie question! By setting up your fans to push ambient air through the radiator at the front of the case, aren't you essentially exhausting the radiator's heat into your case? Wouldn't it make more sense to mount the fans in a pull position at an exhaust point? (back or top of case)
it works that way, because the air will flow into your pc and get out by the other fans you've mentioned, the top and back ones that are pointed with exiting the hot air.
on the installation manual guide they say that for best results you need to place the fans so that they take out air outside the case...not bringing air into it.
If you use the fan method that you don't use in this video, doesn't it mean that 2 extra fans for cool air input are needed? Because you need cool air in the cabinet to be able to send cool air to the cpu cooler and gpu
Bro i have a question. My cooler turn on red. And the temperatures of my pc reached 100•c. You do think that the water cooling is the problem? I need to fix it ? O buy a new one
The wire set that has the 2 connectors is that required? The only way I can connect power is to a header on my MOBO using the 3pin header connector. I am new to this thanks for the help.
Why Corsair CPU fan header plugged into in CPU_OPT fan header on motherboard. The Aoi pump fan header is also there on motherboard. The AI suite 3 doesn't detect the AOI pump and the H fan header. Please help.
I have a question about where you plug your fans into, There is an option on the mother board for an AIO header, is it better to plug the two fans into the cpu fan header's and then the cooler into the AIO header. Or to plug the fans into the sockets connected to the cooler and then the cpu fan. I plugged into the Cpu fan and the the other fans into the provided plugs attached to the cooler. I hear mixed things about which way is more efficient.
The AIO header provides constant 8-12 volts of power, and I read it is recommended to use that AIO. It will safely run at the pump at full power at not be very noisy. The fans to cool the radiator should be monitored by the MOBO bios (CPU fan and Opt fan). You can set it up in your bios. and also monitor it with software. Remember if you have a case, sometimes they have a fan hub -where you can plug in 1-6 extra fans. But remember, your ASUS bios only detects the fans directly attached to the MOBO. Usually ASUS boards usually have just 3-4 CPU fan connections, and usually 2-3 USB connections. Plugging in the Corsair USB to the MOBO will give you options for lights, and interface to add colors, position the heat sensors with optional (SDK software). All of this is great to see, but the main concern is the MOBO. Remember, if you decide to connect to CPU FAN 1/2/3 on your MOBO, make sure the fans output are not using more that 5volts of power on each connection. If the fans can run higher voltage than that, the demand can overheat your circuit board. Make sure you use Molex power from empty SATA power plugs for the hi-rpm fans. Anything using over 3000RPM will most like be using more that 4volts. Think like this... small pins=small power capacity. Big pins=big power. So in the end, you have to decide; Do you want iCUE to control and monitor everything (H100iPro) from USB2 plug? If you plug radiator fans directly to CPU+OPT CPU fan, your ICUE software will not detect it and you cannot control those 2 fans independently. Instead, the AIO "pump" in iCUE can control them both but again, you have to adjust the settings. There is no run-up calibration on the iCUE to test the fans allowing it to make it's own setup. And that is where the ASUS FAN XPERT4 has the advantage. I like to be able to see everything in the BIOS. And quite frankly, Corsair is more into the memory and hard drive business, and not a BIOS controller. So if you want Corsair software to monitor the board, its up to you. But ASUS already has you covered using ASUS FAN XPERT4 (in the BIOS as well as software loadable. I have CPU and OPT headers directly to radiator fans/ USB monitoring the temp on the cooler, and the rest of the fans connected to CH1/2/3. Its a matter of preference. How many people use the iCUE temp sensor (green yellow red)? I dont have the case facing me, so how will I ever know when the sensor turns red? Answer: FAN Xpert4.
would a normal mini usb cable work as the link cable? I mean, I'm assuming so. I don't want to waste my limited USB headers on it if I don't have to is the thing.
Sorry for my stupidity because I'm new to PC building but where do we plug in the H100i v2 for the Asus TUF Z270 Mark 2? I got kinda confused where to plug in things .
There is another installation video on here saying it is not a good idea to plug the fans into the MB rather the PSU. But doesn't this mean the fans will run at full speed all the time? Is this accurate in that it has the possibility of damaging your MB?
Just finished building a new pc and doing some stress testing with Aida64 and my temps are 73/83 degrees with a max of 95 with a room temp of 24 degrees. No overclocking.

hey, i have the same cooler and its great but mine is really loud all the settings are on quiet and i updated the drivers and also did a custom curvs do you know whats the issue?
This is hilarious I am pretty sure we have almost the exact same setup. I have the Black version of that case, just ordered that mobo, I have a Samsung EVO SSD, and I'm abut to order this Corsair cooler, and those exact ram cards 8GB each. And about the ram cards, are they RGB or just red LED?
Can I install it without the backplate if the MB has holes fitting the screws from the front? I have ASUS Apex and it already has places fitting the screws but not enough space for the screw to go through from behind! Thanks.
TY so much for vid. I have just re-assembled my old pc for a friends child and I coulc not for the life of me recall how this fitted. Great work mate. Liked, subbed rang that bell.
hey look at 4:03 you see what you did to that radiator?? you touched that and you messed up those coils or whatever its called ...i have a huge problem now because i just installed that and i noticed that during my fans attachment i did touched the other side and now my radiator is messed up like yours is..... and now i wonder if i just broke that cooling system by my stupidity??? and idk is that water goes there thru those coils ????and now ill have a leak or something??? idk im afraid to turn the system on
i have a asus rog rebulic of gamers motherboard and i got the h100i v2 together a while back but recently i got the 1500w thermaltake power supply and when i plugged that into the motherboard my h100i will not work or read on the computer anymore and it is saying my cpu is running at 100c. any help please???
Thanks for this video, I have the same motherboard as you, how come you dont use the AIO PUMP header? Whats the difference between CPU_OPT vs AIO PUMP?
I made a mistake in that video for not using the AIO header, the AIO header supplies more power, since the pump and fans connected to the pump draw so much power. When you use the CPU fan header with the pump and fans, it doesn't allow things to run as well since the pump is drawing so much power. In a test i did, one of the normal fan headers was running at about half the RPM it normally did because of how little power it had to run.
Wow, interesting, I have the same motherboard but I am using a Corsair 780t case and it has front panel fan speed I/O connection for my other fans, apart from the 2 radiator fans I have 4 additional fans I think im supposed to connect to my front panel fan speed control. This is my first pc build. sort of confusing which headers I plug my additional fans into.. thanks for the fast reply and your advice.
I have this same cooler mounted in the exact same configuration and for some reason my studs that screw into the back plate slowly back out over a few days. They become loose, when this happens my temps rise. I have tried reinstalling checking that everything is tightened but they always come loose . The hoses are pretty firm and tend to apply a lot of pressure in a sideways direction pushing on my cooler. Any thoughts on this? Yes my backplate contains washers and is firm and not shaking. I was looking into an x62 Kraken and the hoses are much less firm.
I have issues with this I have connected the radiator fans to two fan headers from the pump !! N connected the other fan header from the radiator to cpu-fan is it correct way of connecting.. I see my temprature shooting up 70C in idle I don’t know wat I’m doing wrong can some help will b really great full!! This has been a headache for me for past few months
I installed mine with the water block upside down as it seemed easier at the time but now I can't plug in the USB cable so I need to wait for thermal paste to arrive so I can rotate it...
To get my tubes in a good orientation i rotated the CPU block 90 degrees (corsair logo is now vertical). Is this bad for the pump? My temperatures are pretty good but just concerned if it puts strain on the system?
This is helpful but would be a lot easier to follow without the music.
Mikolaj Kraszewski Nah, it’s really not.
have you seen the corsair PC case showcase video? It's about 1000000000000000x worse
Turn the music 50% down during speaking. Otherwise I would say it's great! Very detailed.
You were a little quiet, so I had to turn on the automatic subtitles. I wasn't disappointed.
5:00 "Then you're just going to go from the top to bottom and then start screaming"
The radiator installation summed up.
oh you got me. he said screwing in holes.
Thank you. Finally, someone that showed the wiring well enough to understand. The instructions with this unit are SHIT!
Smedleydog1 it’s pretty straight forward dude...
@@joshway6732 not to some people :) not everyone can follow instructions hence why they watch guides...
Thermal paste is optional. Doesn't need for this one, only for like Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro is needed.
Syuna and i was gonna say that you're beautiful but it ended up being a pic of some random chick.
The best part is if you reverse image search his/her profile picture, it's "Asia's Prettiest Transgenders"
its is made of copper so some people will apply liquid metal (like me)
Jack johnson sorry you got a reality check
@@RapidFireReaper it comes thermal paste applied to the block. Not sure why he added more.
I just purchased this cooler from Amazon for $80 and microcenter wants to charge me $60 to install it. You've made look simple so i think im going to try to install it myself. Great video.
Unfortunately, you’ve installed the cooler incorrectly. You should have mounted the radiators on top or tubes down on the front.
Best instructional video so far as I seen... also the video quality is superb
5 years later. Thanks for the help
Best video on You-tube for showing where cables go.
At 6:42 your plugging the CPU fan header, that has 3 slots, into a 4 pin connector on the motherboard...is this correct ???
Following your video every second of the way and its been super helpful
Most Mobos have 4 pin connectors for CPU fans, some use 4 some use 3, its designed for max compatibility. It's not incorrect. :>
Dude, great content! This actually helped me a lot because I seem to have the very exact same case and MOBO! cheers up for you.
Really helped me in that I have the same exact case. Upgrading CPU, MOBO and CPU FAN. So needed to know if this one will fit my case and how it will look. I was initially worried that my over sized zotac GPU would be in the way of the radiator. Looks like I will have plenty of room as the radiator does not go past the red plate that covers the wiring.
Thank you guy, I didnt know i had the danm thing installed wrong for literally 2 years. only looked becuase of temps with cyberpunk. Cheers!
Thanks, your video literally solved something i have been wondering for years and never figuref out... The use of the 2 header ports coming from the cooler 😂
you should mention airflow direction and top mounting options if you are doing and AIO installation video.
so you just put the corsair link cable on the USB headers on the mobo?

on the installation manual guide they say that for best results you need to place the fans so that they take out air outside the case...not bringing air into it.
There are a lot of videos regarding that subject and they found that it makes very little difference. Both have pros and cons.
for that you'd need to install the AIO radiator on the top of the case as exhaust, and put 2 fans in front as intake
Finally someone installs the AIO and fans in the correct position in the front
Just wondering why you did not user your AIO Pump header for the pump?
I like that all the components are listed including the screws. Corsair don't even tell you on their website. Thanks!
Hey,nice Tutorial,but how exactly you must plug in the cooling system?
This guy should have at least 10k subs good job
7:45 do you connect one fan cable to the motherboard and one to the fan header connectors?
Yes, AIO pump connector, power connector, and USB 2.0 connector
If you use the fan method that you don't use in this video, doesn't it mean that 2 extra fans for cool air input are needed? Because you need cool air in the cabinet to be able to send cool air to the cpu cooler and gpu
Bro i have a question. My cooler turn on red. And the temperatures of my pc reached 100•c. You do think that the water cooling is the problem? I need to fix it ? O buy a new one
Did you install the fans on the radiator to blow in to the case or blow out...looks like into the case...
The wire set that has the 2 connectors is that required? The only way I can connect power is to a header on my MOBO using the 3pin header connector. I am new to this thanks for the help.
Just got this my 8320 is running on 17c on idol
damn I like the way you got the monitors mounted. is that like a pallet
That's some great content for a 602 subscribers channel
Yes you do want to tighten with a screwdriver, just don’t go crazy once the screws stop turning stop tightening
Actually It comes with termal paste. Doesn't it enough to make the processor cool? Is it possible to use its own termal paste succesfully?
Would the H100i V2 work with a LGA1151 motherboard?
I love the tubes showing on my 400c. Looks sick as hell.
Can u put the fans facing inside the case instead of on the outside of the radiator with this?
it's a blessing that you have the exact case model as me and motherboard. I couldn't remember what the cables in the back did hahaha
Is it better then air cooler ?Do you need to change the liquid ?and til how many years one can expect this to be in working condition?
Why Corsair CPU fan header plugged into in CPU_OPT fan header on motherboard. The Aoi pump fan header is also there on motherboard. The AI suite 3 doesn't detect the AOI pump and the H fan header. Please help.
Does it matter which end the water hoses are ?? Front facing panel with hoses on top or bottom. I would think bottom ???

Same Aswell
is the cooler quiet?
well its a liquid cooler, so yes
Nice vid. Just wondering. Why dont u have a sata cable there? I got that on my h115i. Why do the h115 need it but u dont?
When you said "one intel backplate" I am assuming that one works for both Intel and Ryzen?

do you know whats the issue?
Where did the fan headers get installed to, when you routed them through the back? like where did those other connectors come from?
To a USB 2.0 header on MOBO generally at the bottom of it
The USB connector, what is for?
Is it just for the light?
So if the radiator in the front is set up as intake fans what did you do for the top and rear fans? Do you do the rear as exhaust and top as intake?
I'm dreading installing the water cooler in my new build. I don't get how to mount the radiator

I just ordered one how's it going? is it still working till now? im paranoid of leaking so i put my trust on this one
Can I install it without the backplate if the MB has holes fitting the screws from the front? I have ASUS Apex and it already has places fitting the screws but not enough space for the screw to go through from behind! Thanks.
can this cooler also be mounted on the inside at the top of the case like the original H100I ?
How long would it take to replace the two fans on this cooler?
Can you change the fans on the cooler?
For example the fans that come with the cooler to a rgb type or something?
did the clamp have play before you attached the pump bracket
Does this need water / cooling liquid, or do I not need any?

Stupid question been years since ive built a pc is the water cooler already filled? Sorry water cooling is new tec for me
how did you get the front panel off the case? ( the one where you put the fans)

Did your LED on your ram die?? Or can u switch it off?
Where should the two heatsink cables be attached?
Did you use the long screw through the front or back?
can u help me where the one wire connector goes?
I installed mine with the water block upside down as it seemed easier at the time but now I can't plug in the USB cable so I need to wait for thermal paste to arrive so I can rotate it...

Is it normal for that backplate to be loose when installed? Useing intel
Your cable management is so insane. I have the same case and mine looks like it's build by a 12 year old.
Is this one still performing to your expectations? I'm thinking of getting the same one.
I have yet to have any problems with this cooler, definitely worth it!
To get my tubes in a good orientation i rotated the CPU block 90 degrees (corsair logo is now vertical). Is this bad for the pump? My temperatures are pretty good but just concerned if it puts strain on the system?
Could you say if its possible to powerring the water pump directly from pump connector ? (Powering directly by the motherboard)
Jean Bernard I think so
Hi! I just took this I said AIO but after mounting the blackplane and the 4 double screws there is a play of about 1 + mm! it's normal?
you should screw in the case fans before screwing the main cooler in
What case did you use in your video?
I don't have usb 2.0 and 3pin hedder in my mother board so i dont connected will it effects on my pc
Allo from Canada. Few words to say...very good video..keep them coming. Richard
Dunn question does it come prefilled with water?
Does thr motherboard need to be compatible with the cooler or does any cooler work with any motherboard ignoring the cpu
if i wanna change the cpu do i just need to unscrew the 4 screws and change it and re screw them back on?
How about pump noise? Is it noisy during running? Please let us know. Thanks.
Theirs no noticeable noise coming from the pump, all the noise comes from the fans
Pull the air through? i think its called push when you do it like that
1:47 i installed this on Asus hero alpha, but thicker part is vertical. Is this ok?
