HI i have an AMD 8350 stock speed and an h100i cooler. I also have hw monitor to see my cpu temperatures and it says nearly 45 but my cooler's program says 30 c what happened here have i done a mistake and why i think 45 c is too much for having an h100i thanks in advance.

Your BIOS is reading the same sensor as HWMonitor (Ie, socket). The slight difference is because no power saving features have kicked in yet, which means it's running at its maximum frequency.

Because I'm a lazy bastard I'm going to link to a thread where I made a post about all the software and temp readings you need to worry about for the FX line:

Saves me typing the same stuff out again and trying to figure out a way of making it sound different :3

Edit: Oh and, the different reading you're seeing...

Edit: Oh and, the different reading you're seeing currently is probably because you're using Corsair Link, that reading is of coolant temp, I'm not sure where the sensor is located, must be in the block, but it's about 5c off usually.

In short -
Socket Temp = Sensor under CPU socket, not that great but helps for measuring idle temps.

Die Temp = The calculation AMD uses to assume current temperature. It's VERY inaccurate at idle but precise under full load. (Stress Testing for example).

Liquid Temp = Bit of a novelty built in to the digital Corsair AIOs, like your H100i.

but my question is not about measuring the temps are just if it is ok or not. Cause i used stock paste which it wass over h100i and i dont think it was enough to fit all of my cpu and why there is so much difference between my coolers program adn my mobos. Corsair link where takes info from?

Just edited the post to include that dude.
The stock paste is fine, it's a thin layer but it gets the job done. I seem to remember it was some Shin Etsu stuff, could be wrong there though.

Remount by all means but you should be fairly ok.

Thanks you very much that helped me very much and as a last question before picking up your as best and close this thread are my temps good for 8350 (i ask cause you also got one) and h100i? and which should my temps be

Kinda difficult to say, since it's the socket temp you listed, that is usually a bit higher than the rest (Even by 8-10c under full load).

45c is a little high even for it. To give you an example, as I type this HWMonitor says mine is 30c.
Corsair Link is telling me the H80i is at 23.4c.
The recommended limit for the FX line core temp is 62c, at 70c is will begin thermal throttling.

Don't forget that's the core temp, socket can be anything really it's not that great of a sensor. It gives you a rough idea and that's about it. I think some motherboards may base their fan control on it, so there's one to watch.

Run a quick stress test of Prime95 and watch the core sensor figures. End it if it gets to 62c or higher.
That's the reading listed under 'FX-8350' in HWMonitor.

Currently I would advise looking in to your case airflow. You'd be surprised how toasty things can get if there's not enough fresh air coming in (or hot air moving out). What fans and at what RPM are you running them at on the H100i?

What's your ambient temp too? If you don't know this, I like to look at the hard drive temperature reading/s to get a vague idea of how warm things are inside the case. Metal being cooled by air can never be lower in temperature than the air itself, eg. a 30c room will start at 30c and go up.

At a pinch you could remount, if you're certain everything's screwed down enough on your H100i and your airflow is good. It's quite an effort on the AMD socket though.
Also, are you overclocking?

rooms temps are surely near 30 32 now adn its night greece has this problem. I have on h100i 2 sp120 extreme (it was with the cooler) and 3 fans of corsair camed with the tower. i have 3 fans moving air out at 2000 rpm and 2 moving air in same rpm i think. I have an ssd and its temp is 35 c i will run the stress test and i will inform you

No worries, I figured you lived in a hot country going by those temps.
You could try opening HWMonitor, launch up a game you frequently play, let things get nice and toasty and then look at the 'Max' value when you come back.

Of course, games won't stress the CPU anywhere near as much as a test designed to do so, but it gives some indication of how far away you are from that thermal limit.

Oh and Prime is located at this link, mid-way down the page, select the version for your copy of Windows. Best thing is it doesn't need to be installed, it's one of those that runs straight from the folder you downloaded.

Choose the Small FFT test.
