Hi all, looking for some advice and any help would be much appreciated.

I haven’t really monitored my temperatures until recently and I’m slightly concerned. I play total war warhammer 2 on mostly high settings and 1440p. Last night after 3 hours of gaming I checked Corsair link and the following temperatures were recorded around 80% of that time.

Motherboard 76C
CPU Package 80C
GPU 78C

My spec:
CPU: i7 7700k 4.2ghz
RAM: 16gb ram ddr4 3200mhz
GFX: Gtx 1060 6gb
MB: Asus rog strix z270h
WC: Corsair h80i v2 water cooler
CASE: NZXT S340

Although not exactly near to dangerous levels, they are a little too high for comfort. I have a decent case with a large fan in the top, rear, 2 in the front and Corsair link set to performance. Are there any further settings I need to make, like how do I increase the fan curve for the motherboard? Why are the temperatures so high even with a water cooler?

Thanks a lot

The h80i v2 comes with 2 fans in push pull configuration.

Just look at it, you can see the fan on the inside ,there should be another one sandwiched between the rad & the case .

& yes its a 5 minute process with a philips (crosshead) screwdriver to sort out

For me the internal fan on the radiator is the wrong way around.

Thats intaking into the case.

On a rear mounted rad you want it as exhaust.

Thats a twin fan mounted radiator ??

The fan internal should have the straight corsair logo showing to the inside of the case.

The fan on the rear (between rad & case) shpuld have the plain corsair logo to the radiator & the part white label (with the 12v dc info on it) to the fan grill on the case.

Meaning push pull as an exhaust out of the rear of the case.

The radiator fan/s should be blowing out of the case along with the top fan, both front fans should be blowing into the case.
Alternatively you could try: Mount the rad in the upper front, blowing in, lower front blowing in, rear and top fans blowing out.

Just undo the 4 screws on the back of the case that hold the rad & fan to the case (watch the little washers on the bolts)

Hold the rad & rear fan with your other hand so it doesn't drop.

Show us a photo of the rear of the rad & how they had the rear fan orientated if you can .

Id say they've orientated the
fans in an intake postition which to me (even though corsair suggest it) is not correct for a rear fan mount.

They all look fine , I was mistaken with th fans on the rad simply because they are not corsair fans.

From the small pic previously it looked like they were the wrong way around.

Im just wondering why pcspecialist saw fit to change the fans out with the ones that come with the h80.
