Hi, just installed Flow Control, and the temperature reading is showing exactly 10 degrees less than what Ryzen Master and HWInfo shows. My guess is that EVGA is compensating for the 2700x offset, but I don't think  the same should apply to the 2600x. I'm sort of fine with it as it keeps the fans to a reasonable level, but wanted to report it as I think it might be an omission or bug.

    Flow control has all sorts of issues with ryzen, my 1700x always reads 20c higher than ryzen master and hwinfo. Been that way since forever, no way to fix it. Tried bios updates, windows reinstall, flow control updates, repaste cpu. probably best bet is to get a seperate fan controller and dont even use flow control.

    Have you actually tried the very latest release? Because the 1700/2700 offset in theory should be fixed.

    yeah I tried every version from when they first added ryzen support all the way to 2.0.8 they all have the same issue. I might try a few from before ryzen to see if they work like but im doubtful.

    I like my problem better than yours then, as -10 degree misreporting means the fans run lower by default, which I like.

    yea +20c means mine always run 100% cause flow control peaks fan speed at 60c, gonna just get a corsair commander pro and run everything off that instead.

    Hey, I have the same issue on my Ryzen 2600X with the CLC 240 LCS, EVGA software version 2.0.8 and firmware version 2.10.0.0
    The MB is an Gigabyte Aorus ultra gaming x470 with the latest bios installed, version F3 AGESA Version PinnaclePI-AM4 1.0.0.4
     
    The temperature in EVGA flow control is 10 degrees Celcius lower than the temperature reported by all other manufacture utilities and third party software.

    A few other things I like to point out that would make this software better:
     
    - Obviously fix the CPU temperature reporting being off by 10C.
    - Separate sliders for pump and fan instead of 1 for both. It took me a while to figure out how to change the pump speed.
    - Have sliders move up and down to match the cooling curve when set on auto. Right now they stay in place, making it look like the curve is not working.
    - have an option to switch between pump speed and actual flow indication in GPM or LPM (gallons per minute, liters per minute)
    - Allow to detach graphics for CPU an cooling temp, and allow for a much larger time base so you can have a useful history graph instead of the past 10 or so seconds.
    - Have time delay during windows start-up. Currently on my system the app starts up before the driver is ready, giving an error every time I start up my computer. It cannot find the device because the driver has not been initialized yet. I have to close and open the app again.

    Ryzen has an offset of -20 not -10

    That's only partially correct, and only for Ryzen generation 1:
     

     
    the AMD Ryzen™ 7 1700X and 1800X carry a +20°C offset between the tCTL° (reported) temperature and the actual Tj° temperature. In the short term, users of the AMD Ryzen™ 1700X and 1800X can simply subtract 20°C to determine the true junction temperature of their processor. No arithmetic is required for the Ryzen 7 1700
     
    I use a 2600X and it does not have any temperature offsets. Only the 2700X has a 10 degree offset as far as I am aware off.
