Drifter2090 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I recently bought a H100i and updated to new firmware but that messed up my LEDS....but I got it replaced directly by Canada Computers. Before the H100i I was using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO and my temps IDLE were around 33 C but with the h100i my temps have been higher than with the air cooler my cpu idles at around 38 C. My i7 is clocked at 4.2GHZ turbo off and my radiator is mounted at the top of my NZXT Phantom with just the radiator and the 2 sp120s. Is there any way I can make my temperatures lower?

wytnyt Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 you will tend to have a little higher temps using hydro but they perform much better under load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke192 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 New install of H100i (yesterday) with shipped firmware 1.0.5, i7 OC'd to 4.2ghz same as yourself and idle temps are showing about 22-25c and gets to between 60/65c under load. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Stoke192/Temps_zpsd5af79db.jpg I'm happy with my install and don't seem to be having the probs that are being reported. So Far, that is!!! EDIT: Just noticed that the clock speed is at about 1.6ghz at idle (also reported the same in the Asus AI Suite) so that'll be why the temps are lower and also the HDD temps are way off, so maybe the link software ain't that good after all lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithh07 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Firmware 1.0.5? This doesn't exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChoPPerNZ Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Firmware 1.0.5? This doesn't exist? Bought mine last week and its got the 1.0.5 firmware, still getting an annoying noise from the pump though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter2090 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks for replys guys and @ Stoke I think you have turbo On maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My edit re CL was more a reference to the HDD temps rather than the clock speed, which suits me, no need to have it ramped up when idling. I will switch it off though to compare temps.

wytnyt Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 oic,i thought you didnt want it to throttle back.i keep it on myself as it idles cool and keeps my fans running on low speed,,it spools up if needed so thats works good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 30, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 30, 2013 Is the noise coming from the pump or coming from the fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChoPPerNZ Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Can you describe the noise? I think I get the same. Its like a low rattle sound, i can hear it over the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChoPPerNZ Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Is the noise coming from the pump or coming from the fans? From the pump, But since i plugged the sata power cable into its on separate cable to the psu without any other devices chained to the cable the noise has reduced for some reason?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 31, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 31, 2013 Check your pump's rpm when connected to the SATA port when shared and see if its the same when it is connected by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
