I wanted to check out what my temperatures were.
Normally I use the 212 evo for my cooler, but with this new upgrade into i7 4790k, i wanted to go with the liquid cooling so i bought the corsair h110i gt.
as soon as i was doing the bootup (bios) settings upon its initial start, it read the cpu as 50C
after installing all the drivers and what not, i looked around and people were suggesting multiple applications to download to monitor the cpu temperature.
two of them were showing 30-35C idle, while one other was showing 40C idle...
while the motherboard bios reading always shows it around 50C
which one do i trust?
Is it normal for idle to be that high under water cooling?
Is my h110i not that good? or defective?
