Need Urgent Help!

HURRAY!!! I fixed it, I noticed he had put it on upside down and the heat sink logo (Corsair)was vertical instead of horizontal, also the radiator was on upside down. I took off the heat sink, and there was just one tiny corner that the thermal paste had covered. I have now repositioned everything the way it should be and my temps right now running prime @4.4GHz are 64c Max :D looking on the Corsair website and seeing the way everything was on there got me wondering.



Edit: just a image to show it's working fine now this is at 4.60GHz

Is there a certain way the H80i has to be put on then? Any chance you have a picture of which way you put it, as I don't understand which way it should be.

With my base unit tower standing up, looking at the Corsair logo is vertical. Is that right?

No, the logo should read Corsair from left to right in this direction >>>> here's a pic what it should look like with your Tower standing, you don't want any unnecessary twist in the piping. also heres' a installation demo

Ok, mine is not like that. I think radiator may be upside down too. I didn't think it made a difference as long as pipe wasn't twisted. My pipes are not twisted at all. Should it all make a difference?

Run a quick stress test perhaps with prime95 although I'm not a great fan of prime95, I recommend no more than 30 mins, and run RealTemp during the stress test. If after 30 mins the temp has not gone above 71c then everything's fine. have you installed the Corsair LINK2 software? downloadable from corsair.com? If not do so, and set the fans at performance mode, if you find this to be too loud for your liking set them at default or quiet mode.

Yea I have installed the CorsairLink2 and gaming can run as hot as 97 degrees. Idle is around 35-40 degrees so I dont think there is issue with pump installation. I have got tje CPU overclocked and have been told it should be fine at those temps as long as system is stable - which it is. What you think?

Not sure, as I don't know what CPU you have? for example purposes I have the i5-3570k, and Idle temps are no more than 38c Max. If I run prime95 for 30mins, and overclocked to 4.5GHZ I don't get above 71~73c Max. So gaming at 97c seems extremely high, I would be looking for something like 75c while gaming. You might like to think of lowering your clock if your constantly getting 97c after all, the i5-3570k shut off point is 105c

I wanted to ask, is there any way for me to see temperature in real-time while actually gaming?
