So recently I rebuilt my system software and watercoling wise. installed an extra pump inline and added an HD cooling block and an extra 2x radiator.

I am watching speedfan. the system is at 44c, the cpu is at 18c (not a typo), but the cores are between 37-41c

why the difference and which should i pay attention to?

system is in my sig.
 
Speedfan sucks. System temps are from the mobo sensors, the mobo makers spend little money on them, there is no standard.

Speedfan isn't reading the CPU temps. They are reading the sensor on the Mobo.

Why aren't you using Realtemp and/or HardwareMonitor (HWMonitor) to look at your temps? Or if you are please state you are using something else. You mention coretemps, but not where from?

coretemps actually are from speedfar. i just installed win7 and it was the first program i could remember the name of.
 
Okay, good. Your core temps look a bit high, is that idle?

Your other temps are hard to measure. Try HardwareMonitor (HWMonitor) for your Mobo temps. And the mobo software. The mobo makes have no real standard for mobo temp monitoring.

If you need more info please let me know. I am not solid on what all needs to be presented for an evaluation.

Looks okay. Need to let it run for 30 min before the temps stabilize.

Prime 95 small ffts for 30 min, at 30 min log your temps, take the screenshot again.

Question, you have two loops now or two pumps in series for a single loop?

If double loops what rad on each loop?

If single loop you'll need to run furmark at the same time while running prime95 to load both loop parts. And monitor GPU temps and CPU temps.
 
Yep, should do fine. I think it will load both well enough. I really think you should have two loops, those GPUs (TWO 4870 x2?) will impact your CPU temps. But run it to see I guess.

We still use prime95 small fft and furmark as the standard though to see max load temps.
 
Your CPU was at 35C on HW monitor. Was that running the proggy you wanted to try?

35C tells me the CPU wasn't really loaded at ALLL.

Try Prime 95 small fft, get it running, then run Furmark at your usual resolution with 4x AA and let it run 30 min, get your GPU temps from Fur, minimize fur, get your core temps from HW Monitor.

Your GPU cores should be in the mid 40's at least under furmark load with the CPU cooking too.
 
actually, i did have futuremark running, but after each scene it would cool down sooooo quickly while loading scenes. the hightest it ever got was 40. i am not sure how to set up FM to run consistantly. i have 3d mark advanced build. 1.0.1
