I have a Corsair H80i v2 with a broken screw but looks quite tight, thought
pretty much sums that up for me
you want the prefect mating of the coolers cold plate to the chip lid - why you should check to see if any lapping needed from a uneven cold plate or chip lid - too tight/ too loose . tightened down uneven or crooked too much or too little paste old paste or fresh can all be a factor in great cooling poor cooling or just so, so cooling . with 2 screws missing I cant see any of that in the good to great cooling or even close to any kind of proper efficient mounting .
theres more to just slapping any cooler on just any old way and matter of fact to me its the hardest part of a build to get that perfect as I can - folks would be supprised how even a low buck or even a stock cooler could do if the time was taken to do it correctly and insure the mating of the chip lid to the cold plate . also it can take 24 hrs +/- fopr the paste to set / cure and temps could go down more. I just dot see from 80c
also if you go to corsairs forum and look at these coolers like yours you see a lot doing like yours is anyway . could be a pump flow issue if I thought the cold plate was right and not missing screws even bad voltage a few claim ?

but seeing right off the mounting is missing parts that would be step 1
good luck
sad thing is unless one of these would work no V2 parts ...hmmmm,,,,,,,,
