Not impressed with my new Corsair H100i

ill check it out tonight and report back but like i stated, idle stock clock temps werent THAT far off idle OC temps.

Idle temps won't be off more than a few, if any, anyways. Load temps are what matter. If you're using offset voltages, which there's no reason not to for daily use, you idle at 1600 MHz and ~1.0v whether stock or oc'd

Great... that's an orange, let's deal with the apple first.

alright, here we go...

so....that looks a lot better...time to mess with my voltage.

CorsairLINK reports the pump is running @ 2190RPM's

Idle temps don't matter, your load temps are coming from the voltage.

more updates:

Seem decently stable. Ran Prime for a good 20-30 min without any BSOD's or windows errors...need further testing obviously...but no crashes and ran BF3 for a solid 2 hours with no crashes. currently @1.27V 4.5GHz. Ambient temps (ill switch to Metric) are 23.8'C

temps are WAAAAAAYYY lower!

Well 3 minutes of testing will not be the high temperature. You have a water cooler so give it at least 30 minutes. That said, thy wont be much more, and temps are fine!
