Hey everyone! I just finished building my first PC today, but my friend and I are having a hard time installing the AIO cooler I bought (Corsair Nautilus 240 RS ARGB). We tried out various combinations, but we just can't seem to get it to secure properly. I'm wondering, could it be incompatible with my motherboard (Aorus B450 Pro WiFi)?

First off, congrats on the new build! Check the mounting bracket that came with your AIO cooler. Sometimes, issues arise from the wrong bracket being used or not securing it tightly enough. Also, double-check the compatibility list on the Corsair website to ensure your cooler works with the Aorus B450 Pro.
Don't forget to check your case dimensions! The Thermaltake View 380 should fit the cooler, but sometimes you might need to adjust certain components to make space. Also, make sure your RAM isn't blocking the AIO connections.
Exactly! That happened to me once. I had a RAM stick too close and it made the install super tricky. Just be patient and see if you can reposition a bit!
Yeah, and also make sure you're aligning the cooler properly with the CPU. A misplaced fitting can cause it to feel loose even if it's technically not incompatible.
