Question about temp and the 7800x3d / Corsair Icue.

[Don Cool]

I got my new system which includes a 7800x3d and was worried about the system being a bit too loud on load. Went into the bios to fix the various fan curves but it didn´t seem to do much good, not sure if the Corsair H100i Elite can be fully controlled from the bios (have no idea actually).

I installed Corsair Icue and set the fans to quiet, that made a world of difference and since I only use my system for gaming it won´t ever see any of the heavy workloads which tend to sky rocket temps.

My question is about the next picture and Icue had the computer to shut down at 70 degrees celsius but I raised that to 85.

So, I set fans at 100% above 70 and to shut down at 85 .... is that ok or should I change the values?

[_I_]

keep the clc pump at 100% all of the time
and adjust the rad and case fans as needed
0% to 60-70c, and 100% at 80c
shutdown 90-95c

but i would only run it when needed until there is a bios update to fix the potential high soc voltage problems with many am5 boards

What kind of software sets a default value to shut down a PC at a CPU temperature of 70C?

The X3D CPUs especially can and will see spikes up to around the 90C. It's not going to kill them. If I had your 85C value set on my PC, I'd be getting automatic shutdowns. I would be crying at a software that set a default value of 70C.

I would probably set it to 100C and ignore it. Your PC already has mechanisms in place to shutdown if it gets too warm, and to throttle before that.

At first I thought it could be the temperature related to the liquid itself, the liquid temperature is there as well. But 70 celsius is too high for the liquid and too low for the CPU to cause an emergency shutdown, Icue itself doesn´t really explain much.

I still have a noise problem though, there is a fan spinning which goes "up and down" in noise and even though temperatures are fine that fan keeps spinning for about 10 minutes after playing a game ... after which the noise goes away. I don´t really know which fan it is.

Actually, an update.

You were right and I was sort of stupid, the temperature indicated in the limits is related to the coolant temperature, not the CPU. I actually only figured that out after going into the section where I can make my own curve in Icue, I could choose the sensor which controls the curve and indeed ... the sensor used for the default curves is controlled by the coolant temperature, so understandably it has a 70 celsius emergency shutdown. My last corsair liquid cooler did not have a coolant sensor (at least not that I off) but I do remember setting all fan limits according to CPU temperatures which was the default in that cooler.

I made my own curve but this time according the CPU overall temperature and things are much better, no more noise either.
