padzki Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hi, I need assistance regarding the issue that I'm currently facing. I have OC'd my intel 4670k to 4.0Ghz; when running Prime95 or IBT, the Corsair Link temperature does not go beyond 35c while other temp monitoring softwares are accurate. Please see image: Please advise on possible solutions, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 real temp is the cpu core temp the h801 is the hydro water temp which will always be lower and yours looks good,btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa3pnt Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 With that much differential between the H80i and the CPU temperatures, I'd be checking the cooling block mounting. If the thermal connection between the CPU and the Cooling Block is not solid, the CPU temperatures will not be transferred to the Block, and then to the radiator. I normally run between 3 and 5 degrees celcius difference between my CPU and H100i Block. RodeoGeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmecca1975 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 My h100i always sits around 30 to 33 while my CPU hits 55 to 60 with 4.2 oc under itb so the last guys comment about being with in 3 to 5 c of CPU and h100 is not right . depends on ambient your block is generally about 10c higher than room temp as long as it's getting good air flow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa3pnt Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Madmecca, I find it difficult for you to determine that what I'm physically seeing on my system is not right. I monitor the H100i temperature with Corsair LINK. Since the measurement of the FX-8350 by Corsair LINK is not stable or reliable, I monitor the CPU temperature with AI Suite Monitor. I'm sitting here looking at a H100i temperature of 33.2, and a CPU temperature of 36. Under load earlier when I was playing a FB game and using Skype Video at the same time, I observed a H100i temperature of 36, and a CPU temperature of 40. As you can see from the screenshot, Corsair LINK is reading the CPU Core temperature as 20.8, when in fact it is 35.0. I do not overclock, and have an ambient temperature of 27.9, as measured at the input to the 540 case. http://i44.tinypic.com/acpe88.jpg RodeoGeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmecca1975 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Intel and amd completely different how you can compair your combo to his. His is overclocked yours is not his has higher voltage for oc no comparison at all for the op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmecca1975 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Padzki your temps are fine just wondering if you could lower CPU voltage a little looks high to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padzki Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Thanks for the reply!! My voltage is set to auto.. xD. It would automatically set to 1.245 under load.. let me try manually lowering it then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmecca1975 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 On my i5 3570k I use oc genie to 4.2 and never seen voltage go as high under full load and there won't be much voltage difference between them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmecca1975 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Actually just done some searching in internet and the voltage looks fine sorry about that one but temps look ok so i would not worry about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padzki Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Ok so I adjusted my voltages manually. Apparently Gigabyte does not have an adaptive voltage setting so that would be no good for me on day-to-day basis. So what I did is offset -0.045v so even if in automatic voltage settings, it turns my 1.245v down to 1.2v underload and still keep it around 0.06-0.07v idle. Another question though: What would be the indications that I mounted the block wrongly? I've read forums that there is a space between the backplate and the mobo making it loose,, So I placed rubber washers between them and it did decrease my temps for 5c. I also reseated the block but forgot that I had no after market thermal paste. So now it's sitting with reused stock thermal paste... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Another question though: What would be the indications that I mounted the block wrongly? Your CPU temps would be abnormally high. Your temps are perfectly fine. I would however not use thermal paste over. Best to reseat with fresh paste so it is spread evenly. You may even find you temps drop another couple of degrees.

padzki Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Thanks.. I'll reseat it again after I buy a thermal paste.. Do I need to buy an expensive thermal paste or any would do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmecca1975 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I use mx4 does the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padzki Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 I didn't notice any changes in temps when I reused the stock thermal paste. But I'll re.apply a new one just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latharion Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Good thermal pastes that are inexpensive include MX4, Arctic Silver 5, and Shin Etsu. Steer clear of diamond-based or cheapo white grease based thermal pastes, and you cannot really go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodeoGeorge I've been over this already with wytnyt, Haswell chips have bad TIM so the heat transfer is poor from the die to the IHS, I've redone my TIM and knocked off 20c on load from my old temps this just shows you the cpu will be a lot hotter because its not transferring the CPU's heat to the waterblock correctly. Also the water temp will be lower than the water blocks temp. http://s23.postimg.org/lgor653cb/Untitled_1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
