Looking good.
But i had problems installing my h100i since the backplate was lose. You should be able to fix that with some rubber washers though, if it happens. Or you can use the h100 backplate if you have one of those lying around. Zotac graphics is pure power with alot of noise. Gigabyte is silent and asus is usually inbetween. |
