Question 1

lost the software,do you know where I can replace it?

Accepted Answer

Go to Antec's website. After choosing North America, go to Cooling > CPU Liquid Cooling > choose the H20 950 >scroll down and right under Features and Specs, click on Support & Download >under Other Mateiral Downlaods, choose the Grid software. It's in ZIP format, but just put the executable in your startup folder in the start menu. It should work.

Question 2

Does it come with a bracket for LGA 775?

Accepted Answer

Don't recall if this supports LGA 775 but I wouldn't recommend this product over other choices. It's extra thick and can be difficult to install. It also has no easy way to clean the radiator and fans without disassembly. A real pain in the butt.

Question 3

I just purchased this cpu cooler and have it set to 1400rpm and it is 29 degrees idle, I was wondering if I should chose 1700rpm , 1900rpm or 2200 rpm to keep it from overheating the processor during gaming in Antec Grid V2?

Accepted Answer

1400 should be fine as Antec Grid'll let the rpm's rise on demand anyway...you're just sort of giving the cooling a head start. Just be sure all your motherboard CPU fan speed controls are disabled for all the fan header(s) you are using for this thing, save maybe the second optional pull fan if you are attaching its power separately. I used this cooler with an FX 9370 and gaming (Watch Dogs, all cores /  wide open) usually saw temps at around 55*C. FX's are pretty hard to tame heatwise at anything much above 4.2 GHz. You'll also want to reset the color LED's to "max out" much lower than stock settings within Antec Grid, say 49*C, as the default 100% setting seem to have been intended for Intel processors...otherwise you'll be waiting for your poor FX to turn the LED's red and you may kill it as they are not supposed to see much more than 55-65*C.

Question 4

what's the best way to mount this cpu cooler? on the back where the back fan goes or where my top fans go or upside or down right side up?

Accepted Answer

I say it depends on the case.  By default, the cooler's fan and radiator go on the back inside of a case.  I would try it on top of the case and see if there's enough room for cooling.  I reckon you would have some trouble trying to mount it on top of the case, however, because of it being upside down.

Question 5

Will this fit in an ANTEC 900 Case and does it fit LGA 2011_V3 sockets?

Accepted Answer

The case DOES matter: it needs to have a fan-spot to mount the double muffin fan near the CPU. I don't know what the ANTEC Case has. As for the CPU fit, it has a good number of solutions for both AMD and Intel, and I would be very surprised if the Kuhler did not fit the LGA. The Kuhler was a bit of a chore to put on, but you only have to get it right once. Also get a high quality tube of Thermal Compound. The Kuhler is keeping my AMD 8 core CPU nice and cool.

Question 6

Will this fit in a Raidmax Vortex case (with both fans) ? MSI 970 MB, AMD FX8350,Zalman 1kw PSU, R9 290X GPU

Accepted Answer

Don't have this case, but having installed in a Full Tower case (Thermaltake Overseer) with both fans, even in that, it is a tight fit by any stretch of the imagination. If you intend to deck it out with other goodies, i'd suggest mounting the second fan on the external side, if you're willing to do the extra custom work to keep it looking pretty and stable at the same time. Because of how much it sticks out with two fans and the thick radiator sandwiched in there, I had to drop my side panel 200mm fan to get it to fit, and the top one or two pci-e ports became inaccessible. One thing I have to say, is that I really did expect it to get temperatures down more than it does. Compared to the Zalman cnps9900 I had in there before, which did the trick, but was super loud, this guy lower fan speeds only beats it by a degree or two. Turning the fan speeds up, lowers the cpu temps real quick, but than it gets real loud again, defeating the original purpose.

Question 7

How long are the hoses from CPU to radiator?

Accepted Answer

11.8 inches, or 300 mm.

Question 8

will this work for a LGA 1150?

Accepted Answer

It will. There is one plastic piece you will attach with the screws to the motherboard. I ordered this 950 as an upgrade to my old Antec that went out, and the previous one had 2 plastic pieces for each socket. The nice thing about the 950 is it was universal.

Question 9

Alright, so I got one of these and installed it, pretty sure I connected all the cables in the right place, and it works alright. The problem is the Antec Grid software is giving me trouble. It says that the fan is going at 0 rmp, I can't change any of the LED colors, can't change any of the fan speed presets. Basically the software isn't working at all. Any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

I had a similar issue when I installed my Antec Kuhler. It started up just fine, but the Antec Grid software said that the cooler was not detected after every boot. I'm fairly certain that the issue was solved by uninstalling the software from the CD and reinstalling from the latest version located on their web site.

Question 10

I ask you: what kinds of support the motherboard and CPU? For example: LGA1150; LGA1155; LGA1156; LGA1366?

Accepted Answer

Intel Compatibility LGA 775/1150/1155/1156/1366/2011
AMD Compatibility AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2
For more information go to Antec's website, they have the full list of specifications there.
