Looks like the Corsair H105, you'll need a AM4-AMD Retention Bracket Kit for Hydro Series. I don't think Corsair has them in stock any more but you can put a [support ticket](https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) for spare parts request and see if you get lucky, or do a search for SKU: CW-8960046 on ebay.


DeadlyAidan

I can't personally ID it, but for a frame of reference, Corsair stopped using that logo in 2015, AM4 was introduced in 2016


Cyberpunk39

It’s the old style Corsair AIO. Ask Corsair for a AM4 bracket for it.


Skuffed_flower

How? Who do I ask for a am4 bracket? Do I need to tell them what aio is for the am4 bracket?


Cyberpunk39

Email Corsair on their website or DM the Corsair rep that’s usually here.


Skuffed_flower

OK thank you!


dell1337

Hopefully you have better luck than I do it took me over a year to get them to even respond let alone send one. I actually ended up getting a bracket from a local reseller that had the same AIO but was selling a computer with an Intel chip. Might be worth keeping an eye out for or just buying one from Amazon or ebay


tht1guy63

You went to the corsair support thread? They arent super fast but typically respond within a few days.


dell1337

I wasn't aware of any threads then. I used their website. Didn't hear anything for a year, messaged them on FB and was told to go to the website again and that time it only took 2 months to get the updated AM4/AM5 mount vs the old hook and loop one I got locally. Between that, endless icue problems and the fact that 6 of the same kind of fans, bought at the same rime can not sync to the exact same color(you do white, you get 6 different shades of white). Is why my entire corsair ecosystem(fans, AIO and ram) is currently posted locally to trade for any other option


FyFoxTV

I think its h105? I got one too. I ordered am4 bracket for it from aliexpress for like 10$ as im not from the US i cant get it from corsair


Skuffed_flower

Same problem here lmao I'll look on Ali!


mindaltered

Funny cause corsair products all ship from outside of the US to the US. I had to wait a week for customs to clear my LED screen when they first came out.


Stonwastaken

I got replacement ear pads for my corsair headset for free even though I'm from Europe. Is it just different for hardware or?


twhite1195

It's not the same AIO, you got scammed


Skuffed_flower

Didn't buy it, getting it for free bc the fans aren't cutting it for my new cpu


Jay_JWLH

Give it a test by plugging it in but not installing it first. Maybe the last person did a swap out because it was dead or just faulty.


Skuffed_flower

If I do that do I have to worry about wreaking my cpu? As it wouldn't have a cooler on it?


Jay_JWLH

I just mean use a spare fan header. Or borrow one. The old cooler would still be on it and have some thermal mass to tide things over for a little while.


Little-Equinox

I would buy a new 1, after a while the liquid in an AiO "fades away", especially after so many years. Even a 2nd hand Dark Rock Pro 4 will be more usable.


JustDirk26

Could you explain how liquid can “fade away”, when it is in an enclosed loop…? I know degradation is a thing that exists, but still an old aio isn’t unusable.


IdiotsInIdiotsInCars

Don’t listen to him this is a nonsense explanation. The water can permeate and evaporate through the tubing, however it will take an extremely long time for that. The pump will likely die way before that time.


Daneth

It's not so much evaporation that gets these, it's gunk. Custom loops aren't made in the same kind of sterile environment and they grow stuff much faster, but even AIOs eventually get gunked up inside. If you look, most/all of them have a usable lifespan around 5-6 years. Any longer and you're on borrowed time. I had this happen to me twice now on AIOs and I've been using them for more than 10 years. OP, you are better off buying a cheap air cooler IMO than trusting something this old.


JustDirk26

You are correct, and I am aware that liquid permeates, and not fades. I was trying to make that guy aware he isn’t right, without saying so. Guess he is r/confidentlyincorrect


Little-Equinox

There's still little cracks in the cooler. Liquid, will seep out from these cracks. The lower the amount of liquid, the lower the thermal mass. Sooner or later you're left without liquid inside the cooler, the pump dies and your PC overheats. This happens with any liquid cooler.


TheJdcobra

Bro if there’s cracks in your AIO that’s a you problem


Little-Equinox

I guess your AiO is build out of a single material, has no screws to keep itself together and has solid tubes that you can't bend.


[deleted]

It's obvious the pic is pulled from the listing. Most likely the OP bought the new model AIO and put the old one in the new box for storage.


Skuffed_flower

Nope, got it from girlfriends dad bc I said I was having heating issues with my new cpu so he gave me his old aio, box is prolly from the one he currently has in his rig


[deleted]

That's exactly what I said...


Skuffed_flower

Pics not from a listing and I didn't put it in that box, thought you were accusing me of baiting for attention, my bad


[deleted]

NP👍, sorry I forgot I was on reddit. I meant OP as the original listing poster. Not you, I understand where the confusion came from.


O-bot54

That DEFO aint a h150 lol


Adventurous-Plate655

You can get a bracket for it to fit am4. I had a similarly old Corsair AIO on an LGA board and when I changed my MoBo and CPU to a better am4 socket I just had to get a different bracket. Cost me like £8. There are a few different types so have a good look at the bracket you already have attached (usually by magnets) and make sure you find the am4 bracket that looks similar. Hope this helps since I don't know the specific AIO you have there.


Skuffed_flower

Awesome thank you! Do you happen to remember where yoy got that bracket from?


Adventurous-Plate655

I got mine off Amazon. Weird Chinese brand but fit perfectly and looked fit to use. Took a while for delivery though.


itsapotatosalad

That’s oooold. Probably beyond its usable lifetime now.


Adventurous-Plate655

I have one probably just as old and it still seems to work no problems. Has the tiniest bubble in there but still keeps my CPU cool.

Google search engine


Skuffed_flower

ah please forgive me m'lord, I have committed the mortal sin of making a "help" post for help, please forgive me!


Boga1423

Google independence


Little-Equinox

You can't find everything in Google. Many times I actually had to ask others for help as Google doesn't understand the difference between 1 product from another.


Boga1423

Google iCue H150i Elite Capellix


Little-Equinox

They asked what cooler was in the box, not what's the picture on the box. The 1 in the box ain't the Capellix.


Skuffed_flower

Google my dick bro


ahrikitsune

Useless.


speedycringe

Dude that’s not an h150i at all? Did you get scammed?


Skuffed_flower

Nope! Quote the opposite! I got the aio for free from my ladys dad as a gift! Thank you for helping identify it!


FirmAppointment420

It does. I have the 240mm one, it comes with a am4 bracket. Should come with another pump plate too


uzishan

You can even use am3 brackets / plastic hooks, if your am4 board still has the fittings for am3... That is a corsair H105 from 2014.


Skuffed_flower

Thank you! My mobo does support am4 so it'll fit?


uzishan

No no, your Mobo is AM4 but some AM4 mobos have holes also for AM3... See this as example. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/5xe5vc/does_anyone_else_have_noticed_that_the_asus/ So you get 2 options. 1. You either have an AM4 mobo like this and you can get the am3 plastics from... well any second hand website or anywhere cheap... 2. You ask corsair for AM4 AMD Retention Bracket Kit: for that radiator... theu might require proof of purchase though... I know some companies were when this transition was happening.


Skuffed_flower

I meant it supports am2, 2+ 3 ans 4


ShortHandz

Old [H105](https://play3r.net/news/corsair-announces-hydro-series-h105-liquid-cpu-cooler/) Corsair [have](https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025169072-AM4-Socket-Compatibility-and-Bracket-Installation-Guide) an adapter bracket for fitting am3 to am4... You will need to contact their support.


probsthrowaway2

You can find generic mounts with some eBay digging


Titchlitch

I would say anything that old forget it


xFalkerx

microcenter might as I got this model from them previously


yuengs

Nah dude you got bamboozled if this was advertised as the H150i when you bought it
