If you mount the radiator with the fans on the bottom, then it might be easiest to mount the fans to the radiator before installing the radiator into the case, which is what I did for this installation. If your system is already set up to have sufficient exhaust, then you can experiment with mounting the fans on top of the radiator where they can push cooler air from outside of the case down through the radiator. The fan installation can be done in multiple ways, but by default we would recommend having the fans mounted on the bottom of the unit exhausting air up through the radiator towards the outside of the case. The correct order for securing the radiator is Screw > Washer > Case > Radiator.

In most cases you will need to install the H100i in the top of the case, but if you have a large case with multiple installation points that support 240mm radiators, then feel free to experiment by mounting the H100i in a different area. It will be easier to mount the radiator first, and then the CPU cooling unit, rather than the other way around. Now that the backplate and double sided mounting bolts are installed, we will mount the radiator. You can see in the picture below that all four double sided mounting bolts have been screwed in directly to the standard LGA 2011 socket. The short sided threads screw directly into the LGA 2011 Intel bracket that is already attached to the board. For LGA 2011, you will want to use the other set of double sided mounting bolts, the set which has one short threaded side and one longer. There are two sets of double sided mounting bolts, one set has equal length threads on each side of the bolt and are used when the supplied Corsair backplate is being used. Since our motherboard uses the LGA 2011 socket, we do not need to use the included H100i backplate. The mounting bolts serve two purposes, one is to secure the backplate to the motherboard, and the other is to give you a mounting point for the CPU cooling unit and its bracket. With these sockets you can use the backplate that is already attached to the board. If you are using a motherboard with socket LGA 2011, or any AMD based motherboard, then no backplate is required. If your case does not have a backplate cutout to access the rear of the motherboard, then you will want to mount the backplate before installing the motherboard into your case.

With Corsair’s PC cases, there is a CPU backplate cutout so you can apply the bracket without having to remove the motherboard from the case. Just slide the pins on the bracket so that they align with the holes on the motherboard and then use the double-sided mounting bolts to secure it into place. The backplate for the H100i is adjustable and can be configured for any of the supported socket types. Both of the brackets attach to the cooling unit magnetically, so just slide the correct bracket over the cooling unit and it should “snap” into place. The H100i ships with two different mounting brackets one for Intel sockets, and one for AMD.
In this installation we will be attaching the H100i to an Asus P9X79 motherboard which uses the LGA 2011 socket. The H100i supports the following CPU sockets right out of the box: In this artice I will be installing the cooler into a Vengeance Series C70 case.įirst, it’s a good idea to lay out your components and make sure you have everything you will need for your particular CPU socket. Luckily most Corsair PC cases will support the H100i and this blog will serve to illustrate the installation process. The H100i is similar to other Hydro Series CPU coolers from with a few exceptions, the main one being that the H100i uses a longer 240mm radiator. The Hydro Series™ H100i is a high performance all in one liquid CPU cooler from Corsair.
