Unexpected Temperatures

[Akilax]

So me and a friend of mine have similar builds but we get vastly different temperatures.

We both have the same case (H440) and we both have similar motherboards.

I have an i5 4670k and he has an amd FX-6300.

I have an asus gtx 750ti and he has an msi gtx 970

I have the h100I GTX liquid cooler and he has the H100I v2 which is just an updated version

He gets idle temperatures of under 20°C and i idle at 30-40°C   (these are cpu temps only)

I cant quite understand why are temperatures are so different.

Those are excellent temperatures what are you getting? 

 

Edit: Your GPU is a higher TDP or heat output card which would make sense if you have a downdraft cooler that exhausts heat into the case

There are lots of reasons for that, his chip might be a really good one, and yours might be borderline, the temp sensors are also variable. I could be to do with positioning of the rad too, or the amount of fans.

those temps are fine . your cooler may not have enought thermal paste on it . but under load is what that matters for temps

We have the radiator positioned in the same spot and we have the same amount of fans installed. Also, what do you mean by my chip may be borderline?

We both used the pre-applied thermal paste and his under loads temps are the same as my idle temps. Mine are normally around 30-60° C

Tbh mate it just sounds like you are making a deal out of nothing those cpu temps are fine its probably just down to the fact he has better components than you!!

The answer is simple. AMD CPUs use solder and Intel CPUs use TIM meaning AMD CPUs transfer heat much faster and thus run cooler overall.

Ok do I really need to say this, either keep on topic of the OP or move along...

Yeah, in the old days Intel used metal too (I decanned old core2's and old i7's to see the stuff) It's so much better than what they use now.
