jnewegger23 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I google "high temps h80i" it seems on a weekly basis. What I can't seem to find is a good discussion on what typical idle and more importantly MAX Temp loads people are getting. What I'd like people to get out of this thread is a sense of what is normal, good, or high by simply listing what each of us (owners of an H80i) have observed. I just changed my configuration btw to INTAKE on the rear with a push pull. Right now I have IDLE: Ambient Temp: 77F (Indoor) / 69 (Outdoor) Pump: 27.4C i7 3770k 4.3ghz: 32.7C About an hour ago I converted an HD video (5min) which seems to consistently use all 4 cores at 100% and I MAXED out at: Ambient Temp: 77F (Indoor) / 69 (Outdoor) Pump: 31C i7 3770k: 81.2C Previously (last week) I converted a HD video which was longer (~20min) and had the h80i fans + radiator set to an EXHAUST with push pull in the rear and I can no longer remember the ambient and pump temps but you can assume they were similar but the cpu hit 84C. My computer seems to be stable and I haven't really stressed tested it yet because I'm already seeing high temps that I'm not that comfortable with. I'll probably try re-seating etc. soon but I'm also saving for a GTX 780 Classified or Lightning. I'm wondering with all things the same how much of the temps may change with a gpu installed. I'm just running all video off of the internal graphics which I'm sure is further taxing my cpu and possibly causing higher temps overall. One other quick note; I have my cpu just to the right of the door entrance where outdoor air can be helping with intake. (also: I have indoor and outdoor temps from a $15.00 sensor I bought at home depot with a physical outdoor sensor I have hanging from the tree just outside) All details aside, I'd like to know what your typical idle temps are and more importantly what is the MAXIMUM temperature that you've EVER EVER EVER observed on your h80i and any other important or relevant details. Of course most readers will appreciate you including your ambient temp and other relevant factors. Thanks!

Bryman Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 whats your clock speed? if its stock 82C is way too high if its overclocked might be normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnewegger23 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 whats your clock speed? if its stock 82C is way too high if its overclocked might be normal 4.3ghz. I updated in above as well. Thanks for the heads up and the response. To get things going Bryman, what's your: Ambient temp: Current Idle temp: Max observed load temp: (Reason for high temp: ie video conversion, gaming, prime95 etc) I'd like others who respond to follow suit so this thread could be a useful source for others to get an idea of what the typical real world ranges are for h80i users. Again, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 well mine might be slightly high but ambient temp about 24-26C H80i temp: about 32C at full load and i get about 65C at stock... at 4.5ghz 1.3 volts with small FFT (yes small fft does make a HUGE difference in temp) it hits 105C and shuts my computer off... :( 4.2ghz 1.25 volts it hits around 90C...so mines slightly hot but again this is small fft which just ****s up your processor so much its not even ****ing funny its just bull**** lol idle temp about 35-40C but i dont like looking at idle temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnewegger23 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Right on. What's your airflow configuration? (see my attached pic as a reference) I assume rear exhaust for your h80i w push pull? That's what I had before but I'm trying the rear as intake now as I've read that it may help and it made sense in theory. I'll keep a close eye... (I bought a $3 filter btw to decrease dust).

wytnyt Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 mine are seen below in my sig load temps are @ 55c,45c and 42c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnewegger23 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Nice! What's your airflow setup like in your case? Also, under any stress tests, gaming or what not what's your MAX observed temp ever? (see above. I believe others coming to this thread will find that useful and what I'm mainly hoping for over time is a useful "real world" thread count on MAX observed temps and other relevant info so it helps us all trouble shoot any serious outliers in terms of temps).

wytnyt Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 not sure if you mean me but ill respond anyways;): my g820 runs super cool with an h80 with max temp of 42c using prime 95 which is what i load with my i7 2600 runs mid 40's but bounces a few up then settles,no Oc my i7 3770 with an Oc of 4.3 runs mid-high 50's which is better than normal with cool temps inside of 73f,,doing the same test at 80f room temp,the cpu temp will get to lower-mid 60's c.its yet to exceed mid 60's,,,,,,,yet you can scroll thru my sig pics and theres a vid i made of a load run that shows low 50's but after a while it goes to mid 50'sc i have 4 fans pushing in from the front one taking out at the top rear and hydro fans taking air out in all my builds that setup works best for me...

jnewegger23 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 mine are seen below in my sig load temps are @ 55c,45c and 42c wytnyt I was referring to you and I appreciate the detailed response. Wow, your temps are really low. Have you ever tried converting videos? I would assume so. My cores go to 100% and I get temps that are sky high compared to yours. Perhaps I need to look at re-seating my h80i sooner than later but I find that my temps seem comparable to many others but yours are extremely low. Good for you! What kind of TIM do you use as well? Perhaps my chip just runs hot or something. It's not that bad but it worries me from pushing too hard. If I had your temps I'd be testing away! Either way I envy those stats!

It'll be interesting to turn that top around to intake to see if I get similar results to the 650D tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wd69 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Just installed the H80i into a Fractal Design R4 case. I wanted to install it to the front panel in intake mode but the tubes were too short and I ended up putting it to the rear in exhaust mode, moving the rear fan to the front as 2nd intake fan (no top or bottom fans). After having thought this through a little bit I actually find this to be the better setup anyway since fresh air is sucked into the case where the only other major heat source is the graphics card (which has its own little intake/exhaust system). Having it the other way around would mean that the air intake is heated up by the radiator before being available to cool the other parts inside the case, including the GPU (which tends to get hotter than the CPU anyway). I am seeing pretty decent results with the fans in Quiet Mode and a slightly overclocked FX 6300 - around 34 degrees C (H80i temp) idle in a mid 20s room environment rising to 39ish running Cinebench in multi and single CPU modes.

wytnyt Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 my g620 will barely reach 40c under a full load,,wish the others were that cool:D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnewegger23 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 @wd69 Your input is much appreciated! I agree with your configuration; it makes sense to have the coolest air possible for the radiator much like we have for our cars right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnewegger23 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 UPDATE: I'm still trying to pin point why but I'm not complaining but I have achieved what I consider reasonable temps to go back to overclocking! Here's what happened: 1. I reconfigured the h80i so that it intakes cool air rather than exhasting hot from the case. 2. I updated my BIOS and it seems to be holding the voltages lower (tighter?) by default resulting in MUCH cooler temps. I may be mixing event number 2 with coincidental observation but it is an observation. I've attached a pic of the cpuz read on this with my realtemp temperatures. As you can see I am stable at 54-57C while under approximately 80% load. I also tested this against prime95 running small FFTs via the sensor test in realtemp and she will not break past 60C! I am sooo elated about this as I was hitting 80-90C before running at stock speed! I noticed the voltages where ranging between 1.0-1.4 before and now they range between .8-1.2. I didn't think it would make THAT much of a difference but it is! Summary with current configuration (updated BIOS and h80i as intake): Ambient Temp: 23.3C Idle Temps: 22-29 Depending on Core Max Load Temps: 54-57 Depending on Core (Video Conversion 70-80% Load for ~1hr) Max Load Temps: 57-60 Depending on Core (Prime95 Sensortest from RealTemp running small FFTs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
