Corsair H50 concern

[sniper2606]

i have my i7 950 OC to 3.7 stable i have the Corsair H50 installed correctly with 2 fans on the radiator, on idle i get 39 to 45 on load around 60 to 65ish, i was wondering is that normal for a "water cooled" device? i was thinking about getting something better but im not sure. also on the Speedfan software core 7 its always on 75 with a fire symbol next to it idle or on load, kinda concern about that

For that "LCS" is normal. If you have the budget, you can go with custom components that gives you much better temps.

Seem kinda high to me. I have a 930 ocd to 3.8 with the xspc water loop and my temps are at idle 36 34 37 32 and full bore 56 53 56 52. I would sell that h50 and get and pick up the xspc it was only 130 or so.

and just to make sure were all on the same page were talking about Celsius. and yes seems high to me too, my friend is running i7 920 OC to 3.9 and he gets your numbers sometimes not even more than 40 and he doesnt have water cooler.... what about this COOLER MASTER Intel Core i7 V10 Hybrid??

No, the only good one is the XSPC or build yourself.

lol ok ill into that, last thing so i make sure i installed it correctly, according to the manual it shows to have the fan air flow facing inside the pc, which makes sense so air can go through the Radiator, now when i added the second fan in the front does the air flow need to be facing the same way or the air flow needs to be facing the radiator?

Common temps for an H50, even with push/pull. Common for most LCS coolers. They cool (on average) approximately on par with good air coolers typically costing less money.

The fan should facing to the airflow, so, the airflow will pass across the radiator as exhaust.

^To add/clarify...all fans should blow the same direction...one side in...one side out.

Also, be sure that you have the most recent temp monitoring software. If you have an old version, you could be seeing incorrect temps. I like the new AIDA 64 but there are other good options as well.

 

[sniper2606]

Yeah well apparently this real temp software crap is on crack or is also taking the GPU in tho the mix because i downloaded this CPU thermometer and at idle i get 46 on full load i get 55 60 no more than 60

 

[rubix_1011]

CoreTemp or RealTemp; also consider updating your BIOS...many boards have corrected issues relating to how the sensors report.

Those temps aren't super high at all. I just replaced my corsair h50 because I had high idles and high temps. That cpu cooler is not a good one. I installed a prolimatech rev b. with two 3,000 rpm scythe fans in a push pull system and my oce'd i7 920 is stabe at 4.2 with idle of 30c and high of 54c.
