Yes, very bad, no coverage in the upper left corner at all. I do use the rice-grain size plop of paste in the center of the CPU lid and clamp it down. If there is roughness as in some heat-pipe base coolers, I'll spread on that and wipe till it looks clean, then go with the rice grain on the CPU.
It could be that you've over tightened the pump mate as that causes the board to warp slightly. Just a maybe
No it's due to the length of the barrel nuts, after filing them down I got an even spread. That pic is from the original install when my temps were near TJmax with Prime and IBT, with no overclock.

Hello
I was installing the h80i Hydro Seriesā„¢ H80i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
and I accidentally put my finger prints on it; couple of pics attached
Also I was wondering, I underestimated the size of this thing and my original plan was to put it at the front (intake) but the...
I've finally pulled the trigger on an i7-4790k and thought upping my cooler would be a good idea due to the 600MHz jump in clock speed on my i5-4670k, so I chose the Corsair h80i. They seem to have very good reviews so I'm pretty comfortable with the choice, my only question is about the thermal...
I have an alienware ALX full tower and it's liquid cooling system wasn't good for this motherboard (and it's 5 years old) so I decided to upgrade since I couldn't install it. I've bought a Corsair H80i off of amazon but later learned that it has a 3 pin connecter but my CPU_FAN connector has 4...
Hi there, just built a new pc build.
I installed a h80i water cooler into my system and set up the radiator in the dual fan mount setup with the fans pushing out the back of the case, connected the usb link/power cables and it ran. installed corsair link and noticed corsair link displayed...
I've just ordered a new rig and am really battling with myself over the CPU cooler option. the full spec is on the left and is amendable until the rig goes into production. I know I've ordered the 3570k but I intend to run it at stock speeds for the foreseeable so Hydro cooling isn't essential...
