Mujinator Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hey guys so this has been my first build and I've heard many good things about the h70 hydro cooling system, I have attached it to my lga1155 intel core i7 which is currently running at stock speeds reaching Idle temps of 33 and during gaming today reaching 99 any guesses as to why this is happening ?? help would be much appreciated. :[pouts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Check the pump's RPM speed in the BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mujinator Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 just the pumps as my case has a fan speed controller I've connected the fans from the h70 to that but the pumps cable is indeed in the Mobo how would i check this... sorry im still a noob at all this : / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 what do you mean in the mobo? the pumps power cable to a molex and the speed sensor to the CPU fan header so you can see the pump speed under cpu fan in the bios hardware monitor. as far as the fans as long as they spin and move good air its irrelevant how/where they get their power :): got pix?

Mujinator Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 from what i read on the instructions the pump goes in to the cpu_fan header and the fans i have conneceted from the "Y" connecter to a fan speed controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Go to the BIOS and check the pump's RPM speed. it will be under CPU_FAN. Refer to the motherboard user manual if you need help browsing through the BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mujinator Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 It is running at 1427 rpm to 1410rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Then it must not be mounted incorrectly. Make sure the pump head is flat down on the CPU. Make sure there are no capacitors around the pump head preventing it from sitting down flush. If it is resting on top of capacitors, rotate the pump head 90 degrees and remount. Dont forget new thermal paste! If it is nice and flat , make sure you have all the hold down screws snugged up pretty good too! Just to be clear, you should have the one wire connector(yellow wire) to the CPU_FAN header, and then there is also a four pin molex that should be plugged directly into the PSU molex cable. Where ever you have the fans plugged in is irrelevant as long as they are spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never recieved any cables that connecet via a molex directly in to the PSU i got 2 fan headers each for the fans and a 1 pump cable thats it.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 17, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 17, 2011 This is an H70, the unit will not come with the molex plug like the H80 and H100. Looks like you have the 3pin pump connector plugged in to the pump which is correct. The two fans can be connected to the motherboard or a fan controller, which ever you prefer. Your pump's rpm is running within spec but I would make sure that you disable Smart-fan/Q-fan in BIOS to ensure that it runs at max at all times. I would check if you have a full contact between the cold plate and CPU, make sure that there are no caps that could be preventing a full contact.

Mujinator Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 hi Ram guy i did as you said reseated it and applied new thermal compound, straight after this and went in to real temp and i was getting idle temps of 40c this was also shown on my motherboard temp led, i than ran sesnor test and under 100% load i was still getting 99c and my TJ max had reached 0.0 on core 1, now after the test is complete i am now getting idle temps of 46c, do you think my H70 may be defective ?

Synthohol Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 is the air blowing through the fan warm at all? how was the TIM on the cpu? an even thin layer or higher on one side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mujinator Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 after a few hours the idle temps seem to be 40c the pipes do get warm and so does the radiator the air is now warm, my fan config is setup so that cool air is drawn in to the case and then warm air is suked upwards through a 200mm fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 21, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 21, 2011 Wait You stated you are using Real Temp top monitor the temps? If please try the software provided by the MB maker and see what it shows for the CPU Temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mujinator Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 the motherboard itself has an LED post telling me live temps that also showed the same temps is there a possibility that the mobo sensors are wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
