[SOLVED] High Liquid temps on Corsair Cooler

[XxLTMxX]

So ever since I bought the Corsair H100i v2 cooler for my setup,the temp of the liquid has been bothering me.The stock config for CorsairLink sets the LED to change to red as a warning if the temp ever reaches 40C,however mine easily reaches 43-47C when playing games.The thing is the CPU temp is maxed out at 65-70C,which is fine IMO.Is the liquid temp that important or should I just ignore it?

P.S: I do believe the reason for the high liquid temps is that my Cooler is top mounted,so It must get a lot of heat from the GPU.
Also,the ambient temperature where I live is around 30-35C

Seems normal to me. 70C max is quite admirable. As long as you feel heat coming off that radiator when you have a load on the CPU then it is working.

Best part about having a 2nd opinion, like having a liquid temp, is the ability to gage effectiveness. Even after heavy gaming, the liquid temp is peaking at just over 40°C. If it was peaking at closer to 70°C, the temp of the cpu, then basically the cooler is being pushed to its limits and loads heavier than what you applied will then push the cpu temp higher as the cooler has now lost all ability to maintain temps.

You have plenty of headroom still. No worries. Gpu temps will affect the radiator to some degree, but not enough to change liquid temps. It takes a huge amount of energy to raise that coolant even 1°C and your system has a net gain of @13°C from ambient to load. Not bad at all.
