Question Corsair ICUE Software showing 10c higher CPU package temp why?

[sarohan]

Hello there, i have the latest version of ICUE software and i have got also H150i PRO AIO cooler for my cpu. I guess something is odd.

When i was checking temps on the ICUE monitor, it shows highter temps even on idle so i have installed HWMonitor and as I predicted temps are higher on ICUE software.

For instance when i was checking for both HW and ICUE, ICUE one always show 10c higher. Does anyone know why it shows high? Should i use the old version of it ?

And i've done already PWM controlled settings on the bios for both CPU fan and PUMP. Does it really necessary to use ICUE software for fan settings too ?

Thanks in advice

It's great that icue shows temperatures.
If you have any problems with the app, start the app to install again and in the second window, do a repair instead of installing.
Make sure to adjust the Fan Curve, try the ready-made customs and finally don't forget to save your settings.


Never plug the pump cable into the cpu fan /wp connector, but into cpu fan 1
You do everything from the icue, the 2nd connector is for 3A and above and you don't need it

It is possible that HWMonitor is wrong on the temp. You can try a third tool to check. If you go into BIOS Setup you can see the CPU temp there and that reading WILL be correct. However, that tool does not allow you to watch the temp when doing normal work. Instead, check the software apps that came on the CD with your mobo. There usually is an app that you run under Windows that can let you observe and change many mobo settings, including the fan and cooling controls. This also will show you the correct CPU temperature because it is made by the mobo maker.
