Hey guys need abit of help/advise,

im over clocking my AMD Athlon X4 760K cooling it i have an H100I GTX in push pull config and i get very high idle and load temps (according to corsair link) in the 100's which i find hard to believe checking temps in overclocks from base at 3.8ghz to 4.5ghz getting the same results ive re-seated the heatsick and reapplied thermal paste a number of times and now im stumped.

AMD Athlon X4 760K Oced to 4.2Ghz
MSI A88XI AC Motherboard
8GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz (XMP Profile Used)
GTX 760 Ti (stock)
H100I GTX AIO Water Cooler
Corsair Force GS SSD

It depends on if the software creator was lazy or not. I have never played with Corsair Link, so I couldn't tell you. You could open up AOD and check thermal margin and compare how it tracks in relation to the Corsair software, which is probably interpreting it backwards. Keep in mind that it's not a real temperature anyway. It's a power calculation. There's no actual temperature sensor on the CPU. There is one on the motherboard under the socket, aka socket temp, but that usually doesn't help much either.

I've used Corsair Link extensively.

It's worthless. It's only real use is to adjust pump speeds and change LED colors (if LEDs are present).

I'd recommend HWInfo64 (check "sensors only") or Aida64 to monitor temperatures. I use Aida64 myself.

Give it a try. It won't affect your temperature readings. You should get those from either of the two programs I mentioned (there's others too).
