User questions & answers

Question:	Would this work with a z370 sli slim motherbaord
Answer:	Yes, the z370 motherboard is a socket 115x so this CPU cooler will fit as long as there is a little space around the CPU socket (most should have more than enough space)
Question:	Does the cooler work on a mobo intrl lg1151 socket
Answer:	Hello Nicolas, Yes, this liquid cooler AIO should mount to an LGA 1151 socket without any issues. CM-PNguyen
Question:	Is the cooler's tdp actually 130w? the listed figure is very low compared to similar cooler master aios
Answer:	And now it’s 2020, still 130w tdp. 240 liquid cooling should be good for most 200-250 tdp chips, just swap the fan for an arctic or Noctua.
Question:	Hi, I have read alot of reviews saying the therr is a design flaw, Can the manufacturer guarantee that the plsstic tabs will not brake
Answer:	I owned three of these and all three had problems. The design flaw is the mounting bracket and the way it connects to the water pump. Under pressure the tabs will break and you must be vert careful when installing it. I have two break on installation and another pop after about 4 months of usage. I have built PC's for over 25 years, so I understand how to properly apply pressure when installing CPU coolers. I would wait until cooler master fixes this issue. Hopefully the next revision will have a better mounting system.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it run on just usb cuz i want to put htis on my xbox or does it need to be pluged into a pc
Answer:	Aside from Snaps11, ignore these trolls. They lack the mental fortitude to be able to provide a real answer. No, it will not STANDARDLY fit into the case of an XBox. But the science of whether it will transfer general heat is there. You'll need to find a way to brace the fan in a way that keeps it clear of debris, so I recommend building a small wooden frame that lifts it off of whatever surface the XBOX stands on (to keep clear of settling dust). You will also need to find a way to maintain contact of the cooling plate on the area you wish to cool. Because the cooling is concentrated on the contact area, I recommend purchasing three single fan cooling systems to place where the XBOX heats up the most. This will void the warranty, but I recommend cutting away parts of the plastic casing so that the metal cooling plates can be placed against metal, where the greatest heat transfer can take place. So can these be used on consoles, or anything really? Yes, provided you understand that metal contact is the best way to transfer heat, and you are ok doing an augmentation job on the device you wish to cool.
Question:	does it work on ryzen
Answer:	It does come with the mount for the new and ryzen
Question:	what size are the fans
Answer:	120's I replaced them with Corsair Air Series SP 120 LED High Static Pressure Fans Cooling. Cooler is working great. Rig is running between 32c and 42c.
Question:	can you put coolant instead of water in this
Answer:	You could, but it's not necessary. The reason anti-freeze is used in cars is because the range of temperatures a car's engine may be exposed to are wider than your computer. People who say anti-freeze is just to stop water from freezing are wrong. If they were right, people in hot climates would only need water in their cars, but just using water will overheat the car due to the climate + engine heat. Ethylene glycol is called antifreeze, but could just as easily be called "anti-boil" since it's boiling point is 235F! So unless your CPU is going to be running at over 100C? You don't need "coolant/antifreeze" as well as water.

User questions & answers

Question:	I Bought the lc240e but does ot come with controller
Answer:	IT should include controller and cable
Question:	What does the legacy rgb header on the cotroller do? can i hook other rgb fans or lights up with it
Answer:	The way I have it hooked up is through Cooler Master’s 1 to 3 way splitter on an addressable rgb headed on my Asus z370-e Mobo. You can attach other rgb plugs to that but I’d suggest go straight to your mobo
Question:	Can you mount this at the top of the coolermaster 500M

User questions & answers

Question:	How does the thermal paste that it comes with compare to arctic silver 5? should i remove the included paste ad apply that instead for greater cooling
Answer:	Technically it should, but not recommended. -CM Myke
Question:	Will this work with 1151 motherboards
Answer:	There 3 pin.but it comes with 3 pin to 4 pin connectors.they thought of everything to give you.nothing will stop you from getting this case.:-) its awesome!!
Question:	does it fit on fm2+ socket? specifically MSI A88XI AC Mini ITX D board.? thank you
Answer:	It can fit a GTX 980 Ti. Most 750Ti's I've ever seen, in-fact all of them, have been shorter than the mainboard. So you'll have more than enough room...though why not go N200 and mATX if you're going for a small and low powered GPU? I've fit a 980Ti in an N200 as well. Hope that helps!
Question:	does this work with am3+ processors
Answer:	MAYBE!If the mother board is an ATX and has horizontal connector on the front edge than NO! the N400 has a recessed motherboard tray, that blocks horizontal connectors on an ATX board.!Amazon should put a warning in their description!WHY CoolerMaster?

User questions & answers

Question:	These release on 10/19/2018 is the when they will ship
Answer:	i7 -7700 comes with 3.6Ghz locked chip with stock cooler which cannot be overclocked as per IntelWhere as I7-7700 K processor are unlocked chips which can be overclocked . i7-7700 K is 4.2 GHZ and does not comes with stock cooler , so the main difference is the Overclocking and the performance
Question:	Does anyone have their cpu shipped yet on
Answer:	Yes. In my case it worked in a asus maximus VIII ranger. Just needed to flash the latest BIOS and all worked fine.
Question:	is october 19th the estimated shipping date for all pre-orders
Answer:	Yes it is unlocked, and it will run on a z170 LGA 1151 motherboard, but to use all the features a z270 chipset motherboard would be needed.
Question:	Is amazon going to have in stock on release date
Answer:	Optane is Intel's name for the new flash memory that worked together with Micron to create. It will be extremely fast, at *least* 10x the speed of existing SSDs. The first devices that Intel will release will be small (not exactly sure how big) PCIe M.2 SSDs. There will be a driver for these that will work on 200 level chipset motherboards and is suppose to cache and thereby speed up existing conventional storage drives. We'll see. The 'Optane' technology will not work with the current Z170, H170, etc. chipset motherboards even though the m.2 socket is the same. Hope this helps - be glad to answer follow-up questions.

Question:	Can i use this for the i5 8600k
Answer:	Yes I swapped mine for noctua 140 ppc but be aware that evga water block software only report the speed of the stock evga fan I don't why maybe a bug I hook the swapped fans to the motherboard and it's all good
Question:	Hi, this is compatible with xeon e5-2620-v3? thanks
Answer:	To update, this cooler fits perfectly in a G12 GPU kit. Line the hoses up with the orientation you prefer and it twist locks right in place. My RX 580 idles and 28-30* and peaks at 65* with pump and fan running at 50%. I could ramp them up, but I'm content with a 20* temp drop(yes that equates to 85* peaks on air).
Question:	Can i buy just the fan? my fan just stops sometimes, and the cores get hot. is there an aftermarket fan only for lga2011 board
Answer:	I don't have all of the components for my system so I can't speak to the performance of the cooler. The CLC 280 that I received this week included a bag labeled "AM4" which contained 4 stand-offs. There was no supplement to the manual (which doesn't discuss M4 boards) and there was no AMD hold-down ring other than the one for older AMD motherboards. I don't know if I got half of what I need or if the standard hold-down works with the included standoffs. My guess is that they will but I won't know until I start my build.
Question:	The lga 2011 socket mounting have two two styles, square and narrow. does this item support lga2011 narrow mounting
Answer:	Yes, thermal paste is pre-applied to the water block plate.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any warrenty without buying 2-3 year protection
Answer:	per Intel in warranty description: A boxed processor is sold in a factory sealed package that contains the processor, a fan-heatsink, product manual, and an Intel sticker. The product manual contains installation instructions and warranty terms and conditions. Be aware that Mobile and Enthusiast (edit:, i.e., 'k' models like the i7-7700k) SKUs typically do not include a fan-heatsink. Each boxed processor carries a 3-year limited warranty.
Question:	Does it include fan
Answer:	They are about the same. The new 7th gen i7 is just better optimized with a slightly higher Ghz. If you buying a new CPU I would definitely recommend 7700k. But if you are upgrading from 6700k, then there is no need. Hope that I answered your question
Question:	What's the difference between the i7700 and the i7700k
Answer:	I noticed this was available for pre-order from amazon themselves for a few hours on Tuesday, 8/25/2015, but then it disappeared again. It was listed for the msrp of $350 though!
Question:	Will this work with a z170 motherboard
Answer:	The i7 4790K and the i7 6700K both have the same number of cores (4 physical/8 virtual) and the same base clock speed per core (4.0 GHz). Even if the CPU is your bottleneck, this processor is not necessarily better for gaming than what you currently have, though you'll likely get some benefit out of the faster DDR4 memory.
