H80i high idle tempatures

[Satoshi McKeown]

Okay so i just bought and installed the h80i and when i opened corsair link the cpu tempature was 50c now this is pretty high for what was expected. I feel like the pump isnt working but i am not sure how to tell as the h80i will also not show up in corsair link. Finally would the thermal paste be the problem?

I have the amd 10 7700k

well its clearly not working, try and completely remove the cup cooler and reinstall it it should already have the thermal compound applied to it and make sure u removed all the stickers on the h80i.
Watch this video and see if u done all of this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCr1NGSQBEw

i have installed it correct now ive downloaded AI Suite III and it says my cpu temp is around 30c when idle which seems right.
and i also have hwinfo32 and one place says cpu 0 temp: 12 another place that says cpu 0 package temp: 60 which is similar to the corsair link program, and finally it says cpu 34c which is the same as ai suite. i am very confused

Well i am not very familiar with the hwinfo32 but i would recommend u get the CPU thermometer its a basic program that gets the job done. Ive been using its for a long time now without a problem.

This is my idle temp on my intel i7 4770k with evo 212:

For the A series apu's you have to use amd overdrive and you mobo manufacturer software to monitor the temps. All other programs cannot propperly read the temps. Amd overdrive give you thermal limit (how many degrees you have till your cpu starts throttling), and your mobo manufacturers program gives you good idle temps. I had the same issue with my a10. I also have the h80i.

here is a guide for temp readings
