PC Processors

Just installed the 2700X. Corsair Link for the H80i water cooler pump shows pump temp = 81.5 F. Corsair Link shows CPU temp = 193.3 F. CPUID HWMonitor shows CPU at 188.0 F. Fans running

really fast.

Is there a parameter in the BIOS that I'm missing.

Using a Gigabyte Aorus GA-AX370-Gaming K7 mobo with a F23d version BIOS.

looking to the specification of that cooler, it seams kind weak for that cpu, try the stock cooler and see if is better.

Checked with Corsair. They said the cooler should be just fine with the CPU.

What I don't understand is that the CPU is reporting a very high temperature but the cooler temp is so low. I even removed the cooler and touched the CPU and it was cold.

possibly some read issue, since they are fresh cpu´s, not sure how you can confirm of what is right... i would said Aida64, but at this time is probably not compatible with that cpu, see some youtube review videos, and see what programs they are using.

there are some problems with windows 10 that keep the cpu running at full clock with amd and intel processors

I was wondering..... Used CPU-Z and noticed that the CPU multiplyer was x42 which is top speed for the 2700X. Will travel over to Tenforums and see what they have to say.

Re-installed the 2700X under the F22 BIOS on the Aorus GA-AX370-Gaming K7 board and everything is working fine. Temp is 110F under 15% load.

Seems there's a bug in the Gigabyte F23d BIOS.

Thanks everybody for all your help!
