supadoom Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 So I have a Corsair CX600 600 Watt PSU in my system that has a idle temp of 60-70 Celcius. The online specs say its idle temp should be 40 Celcius. Is this normal or could there be a problem? I'm getting these temps from CPUID's HWmonitor software form the AUXTIN TEMP status.

SpDFrek Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 The CX600 PSU does not have an temperature output that would be reported in any software. That temperature would be another component in your system and you would need to identify what that is to see what range it should be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supadoom Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 According to there website that is the psu temperature and when I put my hand next to it it is noticeably warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted February 4, 2015 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 4, 2015 No. The PSU is rated to run full output capability continuously at temperatures of upwards of 40°C. THAT is what the website says. Like SpDFre@k said: There is no temperature reading on a CX PSU. Not one that a user can interface, at least. The temperature of 60 to 70°C you are seeing in CPUID is something else entirely. "Hot to the touch" is very subjective. Is the PSU fan at least spinning?

supadoom Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 The fan is spinning, Yes. Also When I said "According to there website that is the psu temperature" I was referring to the HWmonitor software documentation, not the psu info. As in the "AUXTIN" variable is the variable assigned to the psu temerature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted February 4, 2015 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 4, 2015 No. That's straight out wrong information. You simply cannot measure the temperature of a PSU with software unless the PSU provides that information itself; such as the example of an HXi or an AXi series PSU. It is impossible for HWMonitor to monitor the temperature of a PSU that does not provide temperatures. I don't know where those temperatures are being polled from, but I guarantee you those are not PSU temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supadoom Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm not saying your wrong I was adding info to see if you guys had any ideas on what its actually pulling the data off of. Since the temperature fluctuates it must be a component that is actually measuring it but I have no idea what it could be... That's why I'm here.

Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted February 5, 2015 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 5, 2015 That's a question better suited for the guys at CPUID. I have no idea what that is. Also, since ALL of that information in HWMonitor comes from the motherboard, it varies from motherboard to motherboard. :(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm not saying your wrong I was adding info to see if you guys had any ideas on what its actually pulling the data off of. Since the temperature fluctuates it must be a component that is actually measuring it but I have no idea what it could be... That's why I'm here. AUXTIN is a input on the LPC hardware monitoring chip. Many motherboards don't connect a sensor so the signal just floats and the "temperature" reported is meaningless. A good way to check is to look at what the BIOS reports. Do you have the ASRock utility installed? What does it report? There may be a file called similar to 880GXH*.xml. This can be read to see if AUXTIN is actually used on your motherboard. Page 8 of the manual (ftp://europe.asrock.com/manual/880GXHUSB3.pdf) only specifies CPU Temperature Sensing and Chassis Temperature Sensing.
