Hello guys . I bought a new sistem with :
i7-6700k
z170A gaming m7
500 GB Sansung Evo SSD
2TB HDD ( it's old , used for storing movies mostly , i will change it with a new one in a few dayS)
16 GB DDR4 2400 mhz RAM
EVGA supernova G2 PSU
Gtx Asus Strix 1080
AIO cooling Cooler Master Masterliquid PRO 240

And i have a few questions:
1. I pluged the PUMP cable into the CPUFAN1 on the motherboard and the Radiator Fans i pluged them in CPUFAN2 .
Using MSI commander Center , I set the CPUFAN1 to manual and at 100% and it shows 9300-9400 RPM
CPUFAN2 is at Smart Mode and i made a FAN curve :
24% at 40degree - 43% at 50 degree - 61% at 65 degree - 81% at 80 degree .
It never went higher than 67 degrees but that was when playing Battlefied 1 with everything at ultra and streaming ( 100% cpu, overclocked at 4.4Ghz ) ,Today i did a AIDA64 streess test and it hit 72 degree for a quick sec but the CPU was OC'ed at 4.6Ghz.
Is this good how i pluged the pump and Rad Fans in ? And how i set them up in MSI command Center ?

2. As you may know , the MOBO has a small display on it wich shows CPU temp when Windows is loaded , however i constantly check with HWMonitor and it shows different values ( smaller ) wich one should i trust ? For example : Right now , at almost idle ( except open firefox ) in HWMONITOR i see 23-24 Degrees , while on the MOBO display its 28-31.Which one shows better , wich one should i trust more ? The MOBO display or the HWMONITOR ? ?


3. Right now i have the Cpu overclocked at 4.6Ghz with VCore at 1.328V ( according to Cpu-z ) , is this safe for 24/7 use ? I overclocked by using the BIOS preset so maybe the voltage is a bit higher that it should be.I did a stress test with AIDA and this is the result :
EDIT: i just changed the overclock to other preset at 4.4Ghz and the Vcore is still at 1.328 , shouldn't it be lower ?

9300-9400 RPM doesnt sound right for a pump 3000rpm maybe up to 4000rpm is what i would expect max rpm for a pump to be

28--31c idle sounds right to me unless its extremely cold in your room

1.328v is fine 24/7 when you have decent cooling--thats actually a good voltage if around the 4.6ghz mark my 6600k takes 1.344v for 4.7ghz--done manually not a preset so your board doesnt seem to be getting too generous with the voltage like some auto/preset overclocks can do

the vcore might stay the same since you are using presets will all depend what settings those presets have in them
 
it might be reading it wrong

my pump in my custom loop maxes out at 3300rpm

i only need to run it at half that around 1700rpm max

so really cant see an aio pump running any where near 9000rpm have a look in the bios see what speed it reports there
