I upgraded my cooler from stock to corsair 100i water cooler. I oc the (word) out of it but i cant understand why my cpu package (a8-5600k) stay at 80 C and my cooler at 30 C. What can I do to reduce my package temps?

When you go to water, the high specific heat of the liquid prevents it from heating up too much too fast. So it is possible that the block can not dissipate the heat fast enough. Since the final limit should be the radiator, after time the cpu should stay about the same and the coolant will slowly rise.

Now secondly the pump is an important factor in any liquid cooled setup. So are you using the bios or third party software to control the pump speed? The pump should speed up with cpu temperature not water temperature. I think there are some coolers that do the latter by default which will give exactly the problem you are having.

Sounds like the other monitoring software mentioned is the first step though ttyl make sure the reading is even accurate. Sorry jumped the gun a bit there.

I'm using corsair monitoring and control program. At first i thought that cooler block migh be not reaching the cpu, I aded some rubber spacers and now corsair program is reading way higher temps, ok I though. Output of the water cooler is coming out hotter, maybe it's ok. Then tried stress testing and the thing just shut off then previously it ran just fine. (I used new thermal paste for that, same that I used before) I think that package must be about the same as cooler.






I will try overdrive in just a minute.

Overdrive is shwing me that cpu core temps are between 30-40 and it's constantly jumping. Corsair program is showing me 90C at package. So I don't know...
 
Overdrive doesn't report core temp, but thermal margin. As long as thermal margin is greater than zero, it's safe - thermal margin is how close you are to overheating. Any other program will give nonsense readings, so you can safely ignore the Corsair program. Your temps are fine.
