Embarassing Corsair H100i V2 question :)

[SlovBoy]

Hey guys!

So I bought this new gaming rig a while back (last December to be specific) and I haven't really tinkered with my water cooling system.. YET:

So I have a Corsair H100i V2 and I don't know if it's set up right. It doesn't show up in Corsair Link. This is what I get - http://i.imgur.com/uAvr2pV.png

After playing around with some games (namely the new ME right now and some GTA) I noticed that my entire rig got a bit hot. Not too much, but warm-ish. And now I want to know - has my water cooling system been INACTIVE all this time? The Red Led indicator always reads 40.

Thanks for your help!

Are those temps from picture during gaming or on idle?

 

[SlovBoy]

Idle.

 

[DRagor]

Then I can say that your idle temps are good. Next picture with temps during gaming would be useful.

If I recall correctly - the GPU hits upwards in the 60-70 range, while the CPU rests somewhere in the mid 40s. I'm not sure though. Would those be ok?

Will have to check.

Will update it tomorrow with some new pics - thanks for the speedy answer. I hope I can remedy this... IF there's anything to remedy that is

60-70 for GPU is good. 40-50 for CPU is very good. If your temps are such, then you have no problem. Your Corsair surely works, and works well.

Really? What does the 40 mean?

The LED indicator I mean...
