Err a bit of help!

Ok. I purchased a Corsair H50 from the MM.
Got it installed and booted the PC. Went into bios to check out CPU temp. Ok it's all cool (pun intended).

Boot into windows and open CPU-Z. CPU temp=0. :S
Open HWMonitor CPU temp=0.

Run prime95 for 1 minute. CPU-Z and HWMonitor CPU temp=9.

Now that cannot be correct. I'm using a h50 not liquid nitrogen.

Advise?

what cpu is it?

Could be the block is too tight messing up a temp sensor?

So should I just loosing it a bit and see or just take it out and refit?

Maybe it's that effective!!!

Haha, I was like :eek:

then I thought to myself... It's only water... then i was like

Whats wrong?! :confused:

Ah amd chip, odds are the temp sensors are reading wrongly.

Fairly sure one of the tmpin readings is your actual cpu temp.

This is correct.

Fire up prime and watch for the tmp sensor reading that heads north fairly quickly

mines the same my 8350 runs at 15C apparantly according to core temp.

try speedfan got the right temps for me

tidusjar · 6 Dec 2012 at 12:12

In work at the moment so cant really try it yet. So there's nothing wrong then?

SeraphX · 6 Dec 2012 at 12:17

No, there is nothing wrong, Just AMD's historically inaccurate temp sensors lol

For future reference:

TMPIN0 = system temp; TMPIN1 = CPU temp; TMPIN2 = NB temp

Oh so my CPU temp is quite low then

is system temp in case temp?

Well that would be about the right case temp for me.

Ripshod · 6 Dec 2012 at 14:58

It is. I believe the diode is somewhere around the VRM next to the CPU on most boards cos it kinda reflects the CPU temp. When the cpu warms up that temp does too, and visa versa

tidusjar · 6 Dec 2012 at 15:45

So to sum up, I dont need to open it up and re-sit the pump. Just run prime and see if TMPIN1 goes up.

Ripshod · 6 Dec 2012 at 16:01

That's right. TMPIN1

tidusjar · 7 Dec 2012 at 09:39

TMPIN1 stays at 22 when i'm running prime.

TMPIN0 goes quite high around 50
TMPIN2 goes a bit lower around the 46 area...
