Thanks Kol, its running fine this morning.

Cool! You get some nice ML Pro RGB fans too... Those are quality. What did it replace? I didn't catch it.

The main reason I bought this H115i Platinum was because of these fans Kol, they have a top end speed of 2000 rpm's and no other fan Corsair makes can go that high. I know other brands can, but I use Corsair iCUE and it only supports Corsair fans.
The AIO it replaced was my H115i ...not the Pro version either. There 1st one from 2016 I think. This Platinum version has only been out for about 2 or 3 weeks.

You cannot buy these fans anywhere either, as only come with the H115i Platinum at present time.

I`m sold on these fans, and I won`t buy any other brand from now on, and now they have a new version called Riing Trio.

You can make them any color you want and have 5 different color and speed profiles at the push of a button

Riing Plus Riing Plus 14 RGB Radiator Fan TT Premium Edition (5 Fan Pack) | ttpremium

Riing Trio Riing Trio 14 RGB Radiator Fan TT Premium Edition (3-Fan Pack) | ttpremium

I personally prefer the Riing Plus over the Riing Trio, but I may get 6 of the Riing Trio 12`s to put in my Z170 box.

I like the RGB ring in the center vs the outside edge.

Yes I saw that, those ML Pro fans are unique to this cooler. Should be good for extra benchmarking cooling..

Well this new cooler might help keep the 9900K chip cooler, then my older model.... when I get it.

Have you been looking into 9900K temps? Some people seem to be having more luck than others. Der8auer doesn't recommend delidding it..

At least if you are not prepared to also lap(sand down) the die also, as that is the real problem(die being very thick) and not the actual soldering.

Yes I've been reading lots of different articles on the 9900K .....he is only 1 out of very many reviews. But, after delidding the chip your temps Will go down, but the difference could only be 4° to 8° after delidding. Not a big difference. Its still early thou....
