I just upgraded my Air cooler (venomous x) to Cooler master nepton 240m AIO liquid cooler, which is a huge space saver compared to the previous one, its my first time installing an AIO and I dont know if it went right or wrong, the temps are about 65c on 100% load, however am unable to adjust the fan curve of the fans on the radiators, my setup is Asus z77-v Deluxe + i7 2600k, the problem is that the motherboard smart fan is measuring the CPUTIN and on load it stays around 48c, and the cpu cores crank up to 65 as mentioned before, so the fans stay around 50%, is there a way to make it read cpu cores, or to adjust the fan curve in BIOS ?

I do not have CPUTIN displayed. I have 2 listed that are about 10C greater than any core. Displayed in HWiNFO is CPU Package 44-77C and CPU 41-70C. I think one of these is at the base of the CPU and on the motherboard. The other is in the CPU case and is the package temperature. 10C is about right for gradient across a barrier. Same with on die core temperature and CPU case.

The choices for sensor setup are CPU, motherboard, PCIEX16_1 slot, PCIEX16_3 slot, VRM, PCH, and 4 other optional external probes. In AiSuite several may be selected at once using the greatest value, and in bios only one is selectable. Mine are mostly set to CPU. I don't know what options are available for your Z77. Certainly one of them show swing wide from idle...

I just straightened out my fans on a new Asus X99. Same settings in Bios as AiSuite. Oddly had no control of fan curve for CPU with AiSuite. Last board was a Z68. Both would adjust from CPU temp.
Maybe there are options in the Bios that are not in AiSuite, such as the control source. That is what I found. 4 radiator fans (Push-Pull) stacked was factory solution, but found a duplicate CPU_FAN labled CPU_OPT so less current demand.

My new board has an abundance of settings. Maybe some will be a match for you.

Hope this formats OK!

Thanks for the help, but I already know that, is the temp difference between the cores and cputin normal ?

Thats the problem if I set it up to these temp the fans always stay at 50% as cputin during load is about 48c so it wont reach max temp of 70c ever.

In AiSuite several may be selected at once using the greatest value, and in bios only one is selectable. Mine are mostly set to CPU. I don't know what options are available for your Z77. Certainly one of them show swing wide from idle to Intel Burn Test or other stressing software. Only stressing software will use 100% of the processor. HWiFO records the minimum and maximum. I view it while running a stress test.

Some fan headers don't modulate. CPU should. I use separate header for the pump so I can set it to 50% at idle. There is certainly a lot of options available with the newest hardware. Adding a separate controller for the pump is useful. I juggled the fan vs header a bunch before got the action I wanted, and had to learn PWM 4 pin gave more span than a DC 3 pin.

I also have had the wrong version AiSuite installed. I guess there is some specific tailoring where the newest might not mesh properly with another product.

I might rename my computer "Hog's Breath" for its personalty. I think you will suddenly solve your control problem. Like a thousand monkeys at a keyboard will suddenly produce something brilliant, that is my approach. Ha-ha.
