H110 higher idle temps

I get pretty high temps for a 280mm radiator as it usually idles around low 40s high 30s.

 

I know they aren't bad temps but I didn't buy a 280mm radiator for these kind of idle temps.

 

Should I just not care as my temps never go above 60c while stress testing.

 

Sometimes one of the cores spikes to low 50s, is this nothing to worry about?

If the pump's running slower (and quieter) at idle, probably not. What are your idle speeds?

 

Edit: pump on h100i between 1900-2400rpm

Idk how to change speeds because my MSI Control Panel won't change pump speeds and it always says my 2 fans are at 0 rpm...

I have an H100i and idle around 35 degrees. Maybe check the thermal paste? If no then maybe where you live affects it? Your fluid temperature can't be lower than your room temperature

I am a member of the PCMasterRace. I am terribly sad to announce that I own a PeasantStation 3 Super Slim. it's in a drawer away from my glorious PC.

corsairlink? btw my Bios doesn't recognise my pump properly. I've got it running through a usb header.

I live in a cold country so I should have lower temps..

H110 doesn't have Corsair Link

In that case I suspect your pump is running slower at idle, and only ramping up when it actually needs too. If you're maxing out at 60 degrees in stress testing it isn't an issue.

 

edit: btw Asetek pump speeds tend to be passively controlled by the temperature in the loop.

If the pump runs off a 4pin you should be able to control its speed with something like SpeedFan.

 

If the pump isn't the issue, it could just be the crappy TIM Intel put under the lid of the first Haswell series (your 4670k included)

Nope, pump isn't controllable (at least within the PC, I haven't tried undervolting, as an awful lot relies on that power)

I maxed out my pump because I changed it to a system fan header and still idling at exact same temps..

Well that's depressing.

I've got the same issue on my h100i. The pump isn't controllable at all, and with everything running silent (about 600rpm on corsair fans (It's a 900D case, and I haven't gotten around to upgrading/replacing)) the pump is the noisiest part of my system.

So is there no solution to this?

I also have the same problem I have tried everything I can thing of. I have it in a push pull configuration, I have remounted the block at least 10 times and still when using prime 95 I max out at about 96 on my 4790k at 4.4 ghz at lower then stock voltages.

My problem isn't quite that intense..

 

Probably needs re pasted.

your idle temps stock are usually 5-8° warmer than ambient.

with your overclock of 1.35v you will easily run warmer.

set your idle states, power options and you should see lower idle temps.

otherwise undervolt your OC a bit and see the temperature differences.

What would you recommend to set my idle state (I hope you mean minimum processor state) to?

I don't see any reason to particularly care. 40 Celsius is hardly dangerous, and load temperatures below 60 are extremely safe.

I know, i'm very happy with my load temps but I just worry because the higher the idle temps, the louder it is, yanno?

have all UEFI states enabled (OC sometimes eliminate the C-states)

minimum processor state 5-10%. if idle drops to 800MHz and .750v, your temps

should be stockish.

Will do, thanks :)

 

Should I enable adaptive voltage?
