I just installed the Corsair H100i and at the desktop on an 0-4% load I getting 29-31C on the Ai suite on realtemp im getting 30-33C and on the corsair link im getting 29-30 and it say my pump temp is 25.5C and when under like 40% saying im getting like 50-61C on corsair and ai suite is reading 38-42C so not and this all only at 3.85GHz stock clock.. so im really kinda worried and confused with whats going on here

Use hwmonitor. If the temps there match Link, then you are good, if they match Ai, you are better. It's entirely possible, the link is reading socket temp not core temp. Either way you'll know.

Make sure the pump is seated well, the paste works better when used under higher pressure, so those screws need to be tighter than you'd normally think, and yes, X pattern does matter, don't tighten in a circle

Also, make sure the pump is running full speed, I'd use pwr_fan for the pump and cpu_fan for the fans

there nothing blocking the fans and everything is connected its in an push pull config if that helps any plus the fans are spinning pretty fast... what should the temps of the water be ?

mobo doesn't matter when it comes to the pump, it runs on 12v. I was just checking because not all bios set the cpu_fan at a constant max, and can possibly regulate a 3-pin "fan" to a lower voltage, slowing the "fan" which could have been the pump. 2300 sounds about right, my 55 runs around 1500 and some of the older 100's ran up to a reported 4000.

So, run the hwmonitor, tighten pump screws if needed, run intel burnin for a good hour, re-check screws, and you should be good for temps
