Is my Corsair h150i Pro XT working?

Hi,

I recently bought the Corsair h150i Pro XT 360mm AIO to cool a Ryzen 3700X running at stock. It's running inside a Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic XL with 6 intake fans, with the AIO being the exhaust.

Under load (OCCT, Linpack), it stays around 69C according to Ryzen Master. Cores seem to be running at 3.9GHz. Voltage around 1.27v.

On idle, it seems to be stuck at 47-49C. Idle voltage seems a bit high at 1.4v. So tempts seem a bit high. I know it is within the acceptable limits, but I want to know if there is something wrong here with the temperature.

Edit: Looks like iCue running was keeping some activity on the CPU. When I closed it, idle temperature is around 42-46C.

What temp is the coolant at idle and how much is that above ambient temp? iCue, particularly if you have the dashboard screen up, does seem to load the CPU.

It stays between 30 and 40, depending on load.

So hard to tell if my numbers are expected or not. I'm half tempted to return the cooler and get a Arctic Deep Liquid II 360mm, but I do prefer the look of this AIO.

I put in a temperature sensor in the case and can see my ambient temperature inside is 36c. Comparing with GamersNexus AIO reviews with Delta Over Ambient temps, it feels like I'm kind of in the right range but he is using a 3950x CPU.

seems about right. voltage at idle isn't an issue and your stress test seems fine.

what are you running the chip at. stock, pbo etc etc is it undervolted?

also your probably putting air through the cooler 10C hotter than what it would be an an intake.
