reddiamond Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I am now the proud owner of a new H80i cooler for 2 weeks, I updated the firmware to 104 as soon as i got it and it ran fine for 1 week but then the corsair link software rufused to start. I got round that by unplugging the usb header until the pc has booted and then plugging it back in and it works, i've read the threads about diff probs and will wait for the new firmware to see if that sorts it. Anyway the post topic :) what should the difference be between the H80i temp and the cpu temp in corsairlink2 software at 100% cpu after 3 hours, mine is approx 18 degrees as you can see in the pic, is this about normal?

Ripshod Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Looking at the CPU temp I don't think you have anything to worry about. Previously I would have thought there was a problem myself. But my experience on these forums has taught me otherwise. Like I said, as you're holding 45C there's really nothing to worry about. Stress it with IBT and log the temps then. That'll show if there's a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddiamond Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm more than happy with the temp, i'll run ibt just to see though. Thanks for the quick reply :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyBorg Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The "H80i temp" is the temperature of the coolant, "CPU temp" is the chip itself. It's perfectly normal for them to be different. Under 100% load my CPU is around 70C and my coolant it at around 30c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddiamond Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 I ran IBT twice and this is the 2nd run, temp diff of 29 degrees, i'm just not sure if the thermal compound is on right but if you guys say thats normal then i'll leave it as is.

Ragingsoul Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 get some readings with realtemp. http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/ if it's between 60 and 70 degrees on full load, it's completely normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddiamond Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 My max temps are ok, i was just wondering what the normal difference is between the cpu temp and the coolant temp, what are others getting and are mine similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripshod Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b255/Ripshod/finalfinal.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b255/Ripshod/group.jpg You can't compare one system with another directly, even if the hardware is exactly the same. I'm running a 1090T and as you can see the temps are pretty close. As the processor gets hotter the difference will grow. Intel systems are turning out completely different. I do know on some processors Intel have used a rather poor thermal material between the IHS and die. That probably explains the temp difference you are experiencing. But still, nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddiamond Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Ran ibt for 10 passes at very high stress level and max temp was 59 degrees on a 4.5GHZ overclock so i'm happy with that :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripshod Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Buzzin'. Really good temps for that overclock m8. Nice one ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODedAssault Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The "H80i temp" is the temperature of the coolant, "CPU temp" is the chip itself. It's perfectly normal for them to be different. Under 100% load my CPU is around 70C and my coolant it at around 30c. Have u delidded and what voltage are you running. Mine runs hot ! But I need like 1.3v just for 4.4ghz and maxes at 85 or so in new prime95 avx. Debating on getting an h80i. May wait for the h90 reviews to surface tho as my case has 140mm rear fan. Are you taking temps from the link software orrreal temp/coretemp as I'm assuming the link software only shows the socket temp. At least that what it looks like since it only shows 1 reading.

reddiamond Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Pushed it to 4.6 ghz but needed a little extra vcore (+0.050v) ran ibt on very high for 10 passes and got max temp of 67 degrees, i tried 4.7 but windows won't boot so i'll leave it there, very happy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The only problem there is IBT is no where near as stressful as Prime95, so thats why the huge temp difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where u heard this. IBT is significantly more stressful than prime95. To the point where if you don't have rock solid load line calibration the voltage will actually go 1 increment higher than it does in prime95. IBT can flag a fault or bsod in say 15 minutes that would take 3 hours for prime95 to error on. II'm talking before avx support was added. Now they're pretty damn close. On ivy CPU's.

Not sure about that, i have been running prime for 2 hours now and my max temp is 55 degrees but after 10 mins of ibt my max was 67 degrees.

HOODedAssault Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Ahhhh I'm betting he means IBT on default. On maximum ram usage its probably the most stressful one out there . That and Linx which is basically the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
