What model cooler did you order ?
I was on the fence about getting a 99XXX, but now I think I`ll sell the 7900X and get one, I would think Intel would do a better job with the TIM than SL
Will just have to wait til it comes out and people post some reviews.

Sorry for the late reply I got the Corsair H115i This is there newest one also.

Hi,
Figured you'd be going for the 360mm guess there is a case size issue ?

No case issue at all. This is better than there 360 model right now. They just released this new model last week Mike.
I was thinking of getting there 360 model until I read the news and reviews on this new model.

It`s nice, but I just do not like the tubes sticking out the side.

I had a H110i GT on my Z170 and the tubes leaned up and kinda pulled against the memory stick, I had to turn the radiator around, I didn`t like that, LOL, when it died I replaced it with a H100i v2, that`s all you need for a 6700K

And got another H110i from Corsair, free

The Corsair Vengeance C70 case only has 1 set of holes for a 280 or 240 radiator, so you can`t slide the radiator to where you want it.

My Thermaltake case is great, you can slide the rad left or right like 3 inches.

And I also have a brand new TT 280 if something ever happens to my Corsair H115i

But it too has the tubes come out the side hope I never have to use it.

Wait, what? Does the pump/block have the tubes come out on the side? What's the point of that? No matter how you turn it around, it would not fit properly. That design decision makes no sense to me, especially if the tubes are very near the bottom/copperplate.
