LINK 2, H100i and Odd temp readings.


Invalid_Entry

Recommended Posts

I am getting an odd series of readings for temperatures.

 

I recently installed h100i on sig rig. At first I was mildly disappointed with results. I was getting about 46-47°C idle and 74°C under load. All fans and pumps were operational, so my suspicion was poor seating (I was slightly concerned about snapping the mounting bracket on mobo...) I found that I in fact had a lot more slack than was optimal and tightened down until decent resistance was felt (and a slight bowing of the magnetic mount).

 

Of course the results were night and day now that I had sufficient Block--Heatspreader contact (~33°C idle, 42°C fully load)

 

Here is my question...

 

My DIE temp, as per link2 is about ~1.5-2°C lower than other monitoring programs (CPUID, open hardware monitor, coretemp)... which is no big deal. Until I push the thermal envelope the discrepancy is of interest, but not critical.

 

However, my block temp, as displayed by link2 is around 12°C idle and under light load. This to me... seems improbable, given that ambient Temp is around 24°C. That would mean my RAD, BLOCK and FLUID were exhibiting ridiculous performance. Shouldn't the BLOCK be at least ambient?

 

This is my first loop of any kind, so any advice would be appreciated.

I would agree that seems out of line.

Please post a screen shot of the main page so I can see the temps you see and have you changed the default settings to show in F?

It should look something like this!

This is a common bug that we are seeing on MBs that are based on 970-990 chipset. This has been addressed on the newer version of the SW that is going to be available soon.
