FX-6300 CPU temperatures with Corsair H100i cooler

Chase Chamliss · Jan 2, 2015

Hey guys, I decided to get an aftermarket cooler for my AMD FX-6300 CPU and decided to go with the Corsair H100i Liquid Cooling Unit. Installation was fairly straight forward and I installed it the way it was showed in the manual (Case, radiator, then fans). With stock cooler at idle, the CPU was at 39c. With the new cooler, it is only at 35c at idle. I'm afraid to do any sort of overclocking because I was hoping for the temps to be down in the very low 30s to upper 20s. Could I have possible installed the Corsair H100i cooler wrong or made some error that would reduce its performance by a lot? I was really really looking forward to overclocking this unlocked processor but the temps are a bit sketchy. I hope to have some helpful answers!

No air or liquid cooler can make your CPU idle lower than your room temp. What are your load temps?

Sorry its taking me so long, just did some stress tests on my CPU using HWMonitor (Although I am not sure how accurate the temperatures are)

Idle Temperatures: http://gyazo.com/02f8b049fb4ea2d8fde4bbed0ec27dbb

Load Temperatures: http://gyazo.com/5a4740164c745bda499dd80b95d626c1

I did take the idle temperatures a bit after I did the Load temperatures so that is why on the right hand side it shows those max temps already. Again, I'm not sure how accurate HWMonitors temps are.

Your temps are great! package temps are what you should be looking since its refers to the core temp. Max package/core temps is 62C and max CPU temp is 72C.

Is HWMonitor a good CPU monitoring program and is it reliable? Just wanting to know to make sure the temps are as showed.

so far its been accurate for me and my friends pcs and for a ton of other people so i would trust it personally. and your temps under load are fairly low, h100i is more than up to the task to handle your overclocking.
