H105 Pump Cover Removal

[jwright30]

Does anyone know if temporarily removing the corsair H105 pump cover would void the warranty? I am eager to try and use this cooler with a kraken g10 and a R9 290. To do this combo it seems the edge of the pump cover makes the mounting screws very very difficult.

im fairly sure any tampering with the unit will void your warrenty.

However you could email corsair support just to verify.

The H105 is on the compatibility list. It seems very odd that the installation would require opening a closed loop system.

Apparently, from what my research has shown me, is that it is very compatible when using the nvidia mounting holes, but when you have to use the amd holes you end up having issues.

I solved this issue though, spent more money, got a second radiator and water block and will be tossing my 290 into my loop.

Sounds like you have a solution figured out, but I was curious if you saw this note in regards to 290 support on the G10:

* Some variation in die thickness and height may cause issues with screws being too short to install on some AMD 290-based cards.
* Do NOT force the G10 to fit if your card is too thick, contact support for a revised screw set.
