h80i temps on silent and performance mode

Sin Sin · May 13, 2016

Hi, I just got my h80i non GT yesterday and I noticed when rendering videos at 100% cpu load that my temps were always 49~51c regardless of the fan profile i selected (Quiet 1.3k rpm, Performance 2.5k rpm).
Is this normal ?
Also the fan speed does not rev up depending on load, it is always static depending on what profile is selected.

Processor : i5 4590
Thermal Paste : Arctic Silver 5

Anything above 70 Celsius I consider to be an okay temperature... However, the fan speed not affecting temperature may be because the amount of airflow through the radiator may already be high enough on the Quiet profile that it's already getting maximum heat transfer from the fins. That would mean that increasing airflow beyond that point will not yield a higher temperature.

I think that you're fine

Hi weberdarren, thanks for the reply.
So im pretty much stuck with 51c? Is there no way i can get it lower anymore ?

I don't think so, at least not with that cooler. It doesn't use the most efficient rad fan design, so once you hit that point where the fins are moving heat as fast as they can, then increasing airflow doesn't yield lower temperature. (IDK why I said higher temperature earlier, whoops)

Point being, if you absolutely need lower temperatures (which you don't), then you would need to upgrade your cooler.

Thanks, guess im fine with that since i wont be needing the jet engine sound to cool my processor any further
