![]() ![]() The most critical part of this system is the coolant. ![]() This in turn creates the need for cooling the engine, and this is where the engine cooling system comes into play. This is a natural consequence of using rapidly occurring explosions of fuel mixed with air to create the locomotion that drives the wheels. and I now have a system which hopefully will carry me for another 10 years or so.In a car with an internal combustion engine, the engine will typically run hot. the only issues that I've had, are a couple of software install issues, and this ambiguity about how to handle the cooler. and the result is, that almost everything just fell into place and worked. so I spent a month carefully researching every step of the process. The difference now, is that there is a massive load of credible guidance for doing a build, which didn't exist in the early 2000s and before. So I replaced motherboard, cpu, memory, boot drive (I now have a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB M.2 NVMe drive!! It simply *cruises* !!!), and eventually the cooler as well, which is a separate story. VENGEANCE® C70 Mid-Tower Gaming Case - Military GreenI *love* that case it looks so cool, and *everything* is easily accessible. the main component that I wanted to keep was my When I *did* decide to upgrade my current machine this time, I decided to replace almost *everything*, all at once. the problem being, of course, that 'reputable' is a relative term but that's what I've been doing for many years now.Ģ. So I long ago decided I wasn't going to do custom builds any more I would just buy custom builds from 'reputable' companies. every time I tried to replace core hardware in the past (15+ years ago), I ended up with a couple of days of real headaches, and when things went wrong, I didn't have an alternate machine to fall back on, which made troubleshooting very difficult. I had abandoned doing my own system builds many years ago. One of the problems that I had with this upgrade.ġ. but a 15C difference between cpu temp and coolant temp (at idle) doesn't really sound like the heat is being transferred efficiently to the cooler.Īny thoughts on this? I would *really* like some knowledgeable insights into what I'm experiencing here!! The responder on the Corsair forum said that the paste is fine, temps are fine, don't worry about it. but I had purchased a tube of Arctic MX-4 paste that I was originally planning to use. One reason that I'm concerned, is that the H115i cooling plate came with some default cooling paste on it, and I just went with that. the entire reason that the cooler exists is to control the cpu temp!!Īm I misunderstanding things here? I really think the cooler should be acting directly on cpu temps. I'll admit, these still are not problematic temps, but I've uncomfortable about the cooler *not* basing its settings on cpu temp. but the cooler shows temps being about 30C. I've been running an older game which uses CPU vs GPU (Might & Magic 6), and cpu temps are running at about 50C (confirmed via Ryzen Master, HwMonitor, and Speccy). at idle, cpu is floating at 40C, but coolant temp is about 26C.Īdmittedly, these are okay temps. The problem is (if it *is* a problem, I'm not sure, which is part of my question here), that the coolant temp is *not* really reflecting the cpu temp. So I posted a question on the Corsair cooler forums, and someone there (who was not a forum expert) told me that the cooler does not look at cpu temperature, it looks at the coolant temp. but temperature control is very strange it appears to me that the cooler is *not* looking at cpu temperature, it's looking at some other sensor. So last week, I decided to upgrade my 8-year-old system I now have Ryzen 7 3700X, Asus X570 MB, Corsair H115i RGB Pro XT cooler, and iCue software. that makes sense, doesn't it? We want to set the cooler performance based upon cpu temperature? The thing is, the cooling curve was based upon cpu temperature. This worked great the system sat at around 30C when Idle, and even with high-performance modern games, the cpu cores rarely went above about 45C. I was *stunned* with how effective this system was for cooling!! I set the cooling curve for 0% at 20C, 50% at 40C, 100% at 60C. My previous system was i7-3820, 32GB RAM, Gigabyte MB, Corsair H100i Pro RGB cooler, CorsairLink software. ![]()
