Hello, I just have 1 question (for now) I have M6E and 100i after installing h100i CPU back plate for holding it it is too loose. It looks like this 26112 (image not from my board but it is same as on mine board) Question is Will H100i wont be to loose on CPU as I read on the internet whit other asus boards due to PCB is smaller then others. Anyone who have M6E and H100i please answer.

I have the hero but on that I had to put some rubber washers on the backplate of the h100i for it to make solid contact. Don't know why only some people run into that problem though.

I am at a loss why you have had that, I certainly do not have that issue.

I had the same problem with my M6E and used rubber washers between the backplate and the board to fix it as suggested.

I had the same problem with my Maximus VI Formula. The depth of the CPU block will compensate for the gap. Just install the cpu block and tigthen it down; I promise you it will fit nice and snug 🙂
