No, they didn't go over that. I would just beat them to it and get in touch if I were you.

I just spoke with Alternate, where I purchased my Black Ridge. The replacement samples will be in stock with retailers and ready for shipping late January/early February.

Yeah I was actually thinking about doing just that. Might take the temps down a little as well.

Hi all, Being a long time lurker around these here forums, I just wanted to share my first ever SFF build with you all. It's been a really fun process searching for and picking out parts and building in such a small enclosing. I'm loving my A4. CPU: i7-9700K (Stock) CPU Cooler: Alpenföhn...

That's where I got mine from as well. Have you heard from them regarding a replacement?

Might have been easier, I just preferred this solution. I would hope the mod wouldn't change any chance of replacement seeing as I was under the impression that I had bought a complete product that I didn't ever need to present in original condition again. I think I will post a small build log...

Have updated with a picture.

Yeah, that was me saying that. I used a grinder on the IO side of the fin array in order to make it fit.

Dang it, literally just got my build done. Took forever to get everything in place as well.

Sure thing. As far as I can tell its only a coulpe of millimeters on the IO side of the fins that needs to be removed in order to make it fit. I actually thought it was in place until I placed the motherboard on a flat surface and spotted the offset - it's really that close.

For anyone wondering, the Black Ridge does not fit the Asus Strix Z390-I. Time to get out the power tools.

Great, thank you very much for your feedback. May I ask why you wouldnt recommend the C7 - is it due to noise levels or do the other two coolers simply just perform better?

Hi Dan, You wouldnt happen to have some input as well to my CPU inquire up at PM#12673, would you? :) I would really appreciate all the guidance I can get on this subject as I want my V2 in the best conditions possible. Thanks.

Thank you very much for your input. To give some clarification, I would rather not delid and I will be playing on a 2560x1440/165Hz monitor (for now anyways). The bang for your buck factor is not my biggest concern as I would gladly pay the premium for the 8700 over the 8400 if there is any...
