Conflicting Sensor Data

[You_are_a_cunt]

So, I got myself a Corsair H80 (not to be confused with the H80i) last night. It's in great condition, came with everything (including proof of purchase from a couple of years ago) and seems to have been barely used (I couldn't find a single speck of dust in the radiator fins, no bent fins; not even a scratch).

 

It came with the standard 120mm Corsair fans which I had removed due to space and aesthetics and installed an Acrtic F12 to pull air from outside the case into the radiator (may or may not have been a smart move). The extra two fans went onto the case, one intake and the other exhaust. Except for a minor-ish fuckup on my part (which I posted last night about in the Air Cooling section), everything works great. Too great.

 

MSI Command Center and the BIOS are reading 24C while Open Hardware Monitor is reading 15-17C and Passmark reads 17C (I guess it doesn't live update temperature)

This is on an AMD FX-4300 that's running at 4Ghz on all cores and the rad only has one fan pulling in air from a pretty hot room.

 

Case is a Corsair Spec-01 with 3x exhausts, 1x intake and 1x sort-of-intake (on the radiator)

 

The case is cool to the touch (whereas it was noticeably warm prior to installing the AIO

 

Question is: which sensor reading is right (or at least reliable within margin): the manufacturer software/bios or OHM/Passmark?

your CPU temp algorithm is wrong

very common on AMD CPUs

 

if your room temperature was 15C you would be freezing cold lol

 

24C is right

Try aida64 and check your temps there. I would trust your motherboard for your temps though.

Oddly enough all temps read fine in all 4 sources prior to installing the AIO

Will do.

 

 

Anyone know of any software that can display my temps on an OSD-like frame (except Rainmeter)? (kinda like the OSD-thingy Everest has, but that's just broken for me for some reason)

below a certain temp (depends, its different for every AMD CPU) the readings will be completely wrong

for some people if they go below 40C it becomes wrong

for you idk, but the AiO made it cool enough to give the wrong temps

 

when the CPU heats up it should show the correct temperature, but at idle it will always be wrong

~snip~

It might be under 30C for me, since that's the rough point of reference I've found while running benchmarks on stock cooling and all readings were within 1C of eachother (some may have refreshed slower than other and such)

 

I'll run a torture test when I get home and see when the readings match. Regardless, I'm happy with the new temps (they're at least half compared to stock cooling)
