One thing I haven't mentioned about my build -- when you install the pump/heatsink on the ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe MB, be prepared to modify the backplate for the pump. ASUS crammed a-lot of stuff on this board, and that extends to the back of the MB as well. There are all kinds of components in the way of the stock rectangular back plate for the Asutek (Antec, Thermaltake, Intel, etc) cooler. I tried to work around all the components, but ended up cutting the backplane completely to pieces; the only thing on the back of my MB are four individual pieces of plastic with threaded inserts in them.
Good to know.. although it's my understanding from reading P8Z77-I reviews, the H60 actually fits with no modifications necessary.
From a NewEgg review (of the P8Z77-I)
No problems for me mounting a Corsair H80 with it. The backplate was no problem (same backplate as the H60).
Seems like this guy ran into the same issues as you did with the Kuhler 620 and P8Z77-I..
So fingers crossed, the H60 backplate will mount just fine.
