I had followed these steps prior to even watching this vid. I was losing my mind thinking I had the wrong bracket. When you install the pins there’s still some play left in the stock back bracket. However when you install the threaded nut it tightened and there is no more play after that
I want to thank you for this video and showing me how to properly install with my am4 motherboard, without this video i would of never known the right way and thought something was broken or malfunctioned. It's almost hard to believe such a company big as corsair and not provide any manual or any link with the new cooler model, you saved me from a mental breakdown so thank you seriously.
Something important they don't tell you about the bracket is the screws are threaded differently on each side. The fatter threads go into the mobo and the rest should go in easily. Edit: I'm on my second mobo now
This video saved me , i've installed plenty of watercooling, msi, nzxt, cooler master, and i've never add one with a loose motherboard backplate like that... thought my Motherboard was not compatible... nice one corsair 😑
I got the iCUE Elite Capellix and it has the wrong AM4 brackets. Ridiculous, Anyhow I too got the same bracket as you, so thank you for the very detailed explanation. Your review is among the best & you explain it perfectly, THANK YOU
Yeah, there are 2 mounting brackets/options for AMD boards. 1) use the one for clipping onto the plastic retainers or 2) use the one that is more secure, that installs as you showed here.
Thank you very much for the great video. I was faced with the same problem and didn't know how to screw the water cooling down with the other AMD mount. Thanks to your video, however, it worked out great. Thank you very much! Best regards from Germany - Mike (alias Payman)
Do you remember, by any chance, what backplate did you have? Mounted mine and is wobbly. The thermal paste wasn't even touched when I mounted it. Thank you!
thank you so much for this video....my issue was pretty much the opposite of what you faced..i was given the bracket in your manual and the manual instructions for the bracket you were given!
I had an h100 originally that had the bracket and the hook screws... Fast forward 5 years later, I'm upgrading to h150 No idea needed to remove the extra brackets from the h100. I swear, if it was a universal setup across all models should be it would be a good idea 😑 Thanks for the video
I’ve been told after buy this product that it is horrible and tends to not work even days after buying it which happens to me I got a faulty product but luckily I should be able to return it I hope you all enjoy your new cpu coolers and I hope the H60x cooler doesn’t fail you like it did me
Eu tava quase ficando louco , único vídeo no RUclips que mostra detalhe po detalhe, principalmente po Walter coole dessas especificações, já que o meu é da msi 360 e minha placa mãe é da msi b550 gamer plus

I am wondering myself what happened with that.
Just keep tightening the screws. The play will vanish and it’ll be nice and tight. No more movement
What threaded nut?
Me too!!!
Thank you smmm like literally I was panicking thinking I got the wrong one or something I was like it’s moving this ain’t right thank uuuu

omfg so did I and i’ve been searching everywhere for a video that also shows the wobble and i found this!

THANK YOU
you got the original bracket not the "wrong" one. the one in the video is a revised version
You don't always find someone with the same problem as you but it's nice when you find someone who has
Finally a video that helps me. I was pulling my hair wondering why the back plate was loose, now I know.
Great video my friend.

Thank you. I even tried to place the screws over the brackets, but it seemed the screws were loose.
Thanks for sharing! Very helpful since Corsair no longer provides instructions with their products… absolutely ridiculous.

Thank you!
his is wobbly in the video
@@ceezymuccheez solved it. I had to screw it a bit tighter. No tools needed.
@@tradingunchaineddoesn’t go any tighter for me, did you need to use a tool?
Man thank you for this video !!! Lifesaver ! I was so confused when I was trying to put this together 😅 I was used to the old brackets haha

Where you got this Bracket fromm?
I’ve been told after buy this product that it is horrible and tends to not work even days after buying it which happens to me I got a faulty product but luckily I should be able to return it I hope you all enjoy your new cpu coolers and I hope the H60x cooler doesn’t fail you like it did me
Damn I just bought the am4 mounting bracket that didn’t come with the cooler because I thought I needed it 😂
so you have a back plate? I have giant holes where you screwed into the mobo.
I need four more thumb screws if I’m going to make this work
Did you find a solution?
What could be the reason to be on 57ºC on standby?
You're the man! TY!!!!! Saved me an unnecessary Amazon return.
Anyone else having difficulty with removing the plastic brackets? Cause I can't seem to remove the one at the top
I had this same issue when I installed this cooler on my x570 dark hero motherboard. This was my first ever build and was completely winging it lol.
What stress test program u using
My thumb screws won’t go on at all. They literally just won’t start threading. Any advice?
The back might have fell off
@Technesia Bro you saved me!
thank god i found this i thought i was being trolled by cosair when i got the cooler and saw i didnt have the proper mounting hardware lol
