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?

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?

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.

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.

TMPIN1 stays at 22 when i'm running prime.

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

I'd rather just have the temp correct

Quite afraid because i dont have a clue which one is my CPU temp.
