corsair hydro series h80i v2 idle temps with a fx 8350

Predicting idle temps is somewhat complex. You ran for 30 minutes which is enough to be sure it functions. You don't have a contact issue or the Prime test would have been untenable within seconds. but idle does seem to be slightly cooler. SAME temp I would reach with a standard Hyper Evo 212 heatsink with SAME overclock. Thing is i am still hitting high 60's maybe 70 when playing Battlefield 1 for an extended time. Seating issue? Switch radiator to pump hoses on bottom? Or am I parnoid and good?

Max Temp During Prime95 30 mins was 75 C on CL (RealTemp shows 2 cores at 77 and 80). H80Vi2 Temp showing 38C at the same time. Cpu Package temp bounces between 40 and 48 and in between alot at this standard idle. Idle temp (several small programs running 35% CPU Usage in Task Manager) at about 42 C (CPU Package Temp in CL, 37 C in Real Temp). Had to do this to make it fit (curious if it really matters) Also, on the raditor, Hoses are on TOP, not bottom. H80i mounted on the back, fans set to intake air (both). Just curious if any of this is normal or should I check seating, etc? Forget about the Chassis fan for the time being.New to water cooling and the Corsair H80i V2 I installed yesterday is my first go. But I have a question here: my mobo Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe offers only 1 CPU fan and 1 Chassis fan. Thanks for the advice, I think other ambient noise actually make it not noticeable.īy the way, I want to replace my Corsair Hydro Series H60 AIO system with another Corsair 240 mm AIO or Cooler Master 240 mm AIO.

Other components on the graphics card or motherboard are likely to fail long before that due to the higher complexity. Heat cycling is probably a bigger contributor to degradation than just high temps. 65c for cpu / gpu lifespan is practical negligible - like from 20+ years to 22+ years. 80-90c is within the safe operating ranges of the cpu and gpu.
