mingmong Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hi my link cpu temp is 10-11oc out of sync to that of my motherboards sensor temp (ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe gen 3) is there a fix i can do which temp is correct?? thanks Nigel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randolla Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I am not sure that they will ever be exact. Have you tried downloading something like EVGA's E-Leet Tuning Utility? That will show you some temps as well. I am not sure how each actually records the temps but it might be in different ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingmong Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hi the gpu temp is spot on tho !! so wondered why my cpu would differ so much? I would expect 2-3 degrees out, but suerly not 10!! :sigh!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 15, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 15, 2012 What exactly are you looking at for the CPU temp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingmong Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 What exactly are you looking at for the CPU temp? ? Do you mean temp wise? on the groups it has CPU temp I asume the link is using my motherboard sensor to determine the temp. my CPU temp when viewed with the ASUS software is say around normal 24 degrees c. The link reads 34-36 degrees c fluctuating. Also there is no memory temp, and the HDD Temps never change. My Graphics card GTX 580 temp is recorded correctly by the link. thanks for the reply Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensor Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 24C normally? What kind of cooler is that? :laughing: I'd be more inclined to believe the Link in this case, 34-36C and fluctuating sounds way more believable for an idle CPU. Also HDD temps do tend to be pretty stable (fortunately). Try running a virus scan over one of the drives and see if that cranks up the temps a bit.

mingmong Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Cheers for the reply I thought the ASUS temp indicator to be was slighty out but by 10-12 degrees:confused: Any how for the memory temp group I have used a temp sensor and placed it between the Ram modules (not touching the m tho) detecting the air temp between any good you think? I i have placed a temp sensor high up in the case,and 1 near the bottom of my case. heres a screen shot of it all:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensor Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Very generally I would say if you are using the memory anywhere near its specs any form of memory cooling is total nonsense. If you have memory that gets too hot you have a MAJOR airflow problem in your case, and I shudder to think what's happening to your VRM's. No matter what you put on your CPU, you should maintain some airflow in your case and memory is the least of your problems there. I think RamGuy already noted that the temp sensors are supposed to measure ambient temps (not being stuck to anything) and if I look at how it's working in my system that seems to work perfectly.

mingmong Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I have no air flow issues 4 x 120mm intake fans 2x 120mm exhaust fans 1x 200mm exhaust fan :D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpDFrek Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Do you have Core Temp installed or available? That should match the Corsair Link CPU temp readout exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingmong Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 no is there a link to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingmong Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 well if the core temp is correct the link is only out by 3degrees. Things are looking up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
