SolidSnark Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Hey all, I just installed a H80i in my computer and I'm puzzled by the various temp readings... Corsair Link gives me: H80i Temp ASUSTeK CPU Temp i7-3820 Temp And the ASUS monitor shows a CPU temp that matches none of the above... The H80i Temp shows around 31-36 depending on load The ASUSTeK CPU temp shows around 40-45 depending on load. The i7-3820 Temp hangs around 41 at idle and then goes up to the mid 60s when hammering it with prime 95. It's an almost instantaneous rise when the test starts and the temp drops to normal with a second or two of turning the test off... Can someone give me any pointers on how to find out what the relevant temperatures are and if I should be worried? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

HOODedAssault Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 You shouldn't be using any of them. Use real temp for cpu temps. None of those are actual core temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidSnark Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Thanks for taking the time to reply, but at this point I am not sure how to get the real CPU temp. Until adding the H80i I was relying on the ASUS monitor, but now I'm not sure what to make of it. Is there a good tool for getting accurate CPU temp results?

HOODedAssault Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Lol I just told you. The tool is called "realtemp". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nichrome Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 H80i temp is the liquid's temp. i7 xxxx is CPU temp. The last one is temp of motherboard, most likely northbridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
