Got myself a 280 cooler to replace my Corsair H80i V2. While it was able to do 4.3GHz on my 5960X at up to 70C, I'm hoping the dual radiator in the 280 will push down those temperatures another 10-15C so I can push for 4.4 or 4.5 overlock.
 
I have a Cooler Master HAF X, so it should fit just fine. I've changed all the case fans to red LED fans from Cooler Master and added a second fan up top where it was empty. I let them all run at full speed and the usual temp of my motherboard is 32-34C when it's a warm day and 27-30C when it's a cold day. I replaced the rear fan with the dual fan+radiator H80i V2, so that'll get changed out for a red LED fan as well.

Is is possible you are running another software tool already reading the CPU temp ,some do not play nice.
 
Try the EVGA precision tool and look for CPU temp- I do know both the EVGA monitor tools will work together and may give some information on the problem.
 
I have use AIDA64 Extreme for years and there is a 30 day trial version ( you may need their beta if using a newer board or CPU chip)
 
At least this may give more data for someone that will have a better answer.
 
I don't know if the Water block software  even uses the cpu temp but only needs water temp ?

Waiting for the Am4 bracket to complete the pc
 

 
Here my one is working and all running is fine but only two thing are fan running too loud on AUTO and my keyboard button "DEL" is not working! It need to move in fan curve 100/60c.. I set to AUTO off and low speed fan go quiet!!!! 

 
 
So wait for next new version coming soon!!!

my fan curve seems to follow and adjust from  water temp and the pump speed  will stay where I set it with auto off then i put auto back on.
 
I do have to click apply every time I even LOOK at fan curve even if I don't change it.
 
The reading update too fast ( once a sec ?? ) 
 
 
 

I've the same problems.

I really like the white case look !
It is a pain having a miner's light on my head working on dark parts in a dark case
And at least as you wait all the bubbles will be in the radiator 

So, my CLC 280 arrived today. Thinking that I could fit it on my Asus Prime X370 board was a big mistake.
How long before the bracket is available for us folk in the UK?

Just got my 280 up and running, and with the latest software it's showing a CPU Fan Speed of 0 (the fans are turning). 
Asus Maximus IX Hero - I've plugged the pump into the USB2 header and the fan into the CPU_FAN header. The only thing I haven't tried yet is the latest bios for the mobo...
 
Edit - fixed it. Changed CPU Fan from DC to PWM in bios.

 
@ Sstsim, thanks, that's awesome, so EVGA CLC fan and pump compatible with ASUS Fan Xpert 4 utility, nice! (fans at least)
 
Assuming the EVGA LED lights don't work with ASUS Aura software, what is the default EVGA color - just white LED on all the time?
 
 
 
 

I bought the 280 CLC but the software says 120 CLC!!!!! Also i can not put my fans lower than 1080, i think they are a bit loud, does anyone else think the same?

So I just got my CLC 280 and installed it on a z270 MSI Gaming M7.
Getting a CONSTANT USB disconnect reconnect noise in Windows 10 when the USB header is plugged in from the CLC 280. Swapped headers and its still the same.
Disconnected the USB header and now there is no disconnect/reconnect USB noises.
 
Anybody have experience with this? I submitted a ticket to EVGA, figured I'd ask here as well.
 
EDIT: I seem to have fixed it by going through and reinstalling and repairing all the drivers for the motherboard. Not sure what the issue was or what happened, but everything seems to be working fine now.

My delete key now works, but every time i start/reboot the computer the following error appears
 
:(

I have installed and test!! All working good with my Delete key is alive lol!!!
It look so cool new skin below...
 
 
But in he Fan Curve set at 100% speed / 60c  white dot isn't moving yet.......
and below still error to open Flow Control Icon in Desktop....

 
So far New Version is good but need bit errors are curve 100%/60c and Open Icon error....
 
 
 

I do uninstall and install new version save me trouble!!! I got two skin either default and Extra skins.
Next time try uninstall old version before install new version

This is known issue that will be fixed in upcoming release.

 looking forward 

No one has actually said if the (heatsink/pump unit)  for both of EVGA  type CPU coolers are exactly the same part with only a different radiator.
There is firmware inside but how would the downloaded software know which one ?
 
1. Make the label say only EVGA CLC ?
2. Ask us in the setting setup to select different BIOS to install - Like we now do with the Video cards for power/fan curves ?

Radiator fan noise :
After reading a few reviews it seems all the other CPU closed loop coolers at max high speed have the same high dB sound level.
 
I find I do not need the fans that high to keep the CPU under 55c - 50% speed at the most and 35% average
 
The fan speed problem I see is the speed jumps to MAX at shutdown ( this part seems like a good idea ) but it will them be at max on startup until I toggle the AUTO button.

(side note - I have to toggle ( off/on) OSD  in EVGA Precision XOC  as well )
