Gents,

Finally got my Corsair Link software to work with Win8.1 using a regedit change. I am trying to diagnose why I am getting the Kernal Power crash 41.

My system is this



The Samsung 250GB Pro Drive temp seems way to hot in comparison to the OCZ one! The Samsung contain my boot windows stuff, BF4 and programs.

The OCZ is just for my other games.

This is the airflow I have in the Case.



All system fans are on in turbo mode and working, the H80i fans are currently set to "Quiet Mode" as I am just surfing the net doing this. Generally they run at 2200RPM each set up as the Corsair Manual advised both in a Pull config.

Why is my Samsung drive that hot? That can't be normal can it? Or is it just the Corsair software?

Help

That looks likely to be a monitoring fault on the Samsung - the temp just seems insanely high, especially as the drives right underneath it have a more normal temp. You can't get that temp even on a mechanical drive.

See if you can check the drive temps with HD Sentinel or HD Tune. It's probably best to make sure you don't have multiple temp monitoring software running at the same time, as they can confuse each other.

Thanks Punk, I will give the them both a go. Just worried me when I saw it like that, I maxed out all my fans and the temp dropped to 50, odd indeed. I think unless there are specific sensors directly on the hardware a true reading will be hard to come by!

I've got a 128 GB Samsung Pro I use as a caching drive, and HD sentinel picks up the temperature correctly, and it changes depending how hot the day is, so the Samsung can report it's temp. I think it's the Corsair software that's getting it wrong.

Actually, you should also be able to use Samsung's own Magician software to test the drive. I can't really check it as it doesn't work correctly on Intel RST RAID controllers.
