H100i weird CPU temps

[Ciechom]

I have AMD 1090t cpu and at idle on quite hot day HWmonitor shows around 28 degrees (what is close to ambient temp) and corsair link shows around 42 degrees. But when i test it with prime95 both temps seem to be really close to each other (around 1 C difference). Anyone knows why corsair link shows this weird temps at idle?

 

Also when stopping prime95 temp on corsair link is going up when on HWmonitor it is going down.

 

HWMonitor is showing same temp as core temp.

I would suspect that they are measuring the temps from different areas of the cpu.

Either they are readin diffrent chips temps. Such as the actual cpu socket, a single cpu core temp, the all the cpu core temps, or the whole cpu as one. 

 

And are you sure your not reading it as the H100i temp being the water block temp and no the cpu temp?

Well there are 2 temps in corsair link - 1 is H100i temp and 2nd is 1090T temp so i guess i read the correct temps.

 

Both programs agree when I put some stress on CPU but on idle the temps are just not synchronized at all.

The Corsair Link temp is average of all CPU cores. HWM gives you each core temp individually.

that is what I'm talking about (idle)

 

 

 

And this is how it looks just after launching prime95

[William12h]

Thats normal. The H100i temp is the temp of the water block, not the temp of the cpu. the Pump speed will increase when that temp increases to keep the cpu cooler. The H100i Temp is the water flow temp.  while the CPU part is the actual CPU temp

I get this part, but I don't get why at idle the temps in both programs are different and at load are almoust the same.

I think it could be monitoring your socket temp rather than your CPU...

Have you tred any other temp monitoring programs other than these two?

Also tried Core Temp and it gives exactly the same temps as HWMonitor.

[Mojo-Jojo]

I'd write this off as a glitch in either programs. Check more software to see what they report to rule out a fault in either of these two programs.

 

EDIT:

Never mind

So what program I should use to compare this temps? 

[Enderman]

Then go by those temps while overclocking. I have no idea why Corsair link gives a different temp unless that is socket temp.

[William12h]

oh, Well then the H100i is reading the CPU temp on the actual contact bit, where as HWMonitor will be reading the temp of the CPU based on the MB chip for the temp. So they both collect the temp data from different parts. 

HWmonitor will be more accurate for the temp.

and i presume, the Software will show the temp that the entire cpu and cpu socket temp is based on its own contact on the CPU.
