Have installed today and so far no problem here!! Thanks for update new Version 

It is hard to do and it is even harder when many different software tasks are try to get the same data.
You can double check what the BIOS number say  ; 100C almost sound like the default high . ie high bad reading ?
or Intel’s Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU)  -I have not tried it on my Windows 10 systems
 
Ah, the days when a CPU chip only had ONE core and how do you average over 6 cores when one may not be in use.

Flow Control has read CPU temps correctly in the past. I have tried uninstall and reinstall of several older version as well as this new version 9. Hard to understand the fault in version 9 reading 100C+. Variables seem to be the MSI BIOS updates, the AMD Chipset updates and the OS updates and maybe the GPU driver updates. What puzzles me most is that CPU-Z, HWInfo64 and "headups" screen displays in games I play all report the more appropriate temps ranging from 29C to 52C depending on use. When I go into the BIOS (load drops of course) temps show as low as 28C but mostly low 32's. Hard to feel confident laying blame for the issue. I doubt a EVGA update to a version 10 is the final solution. Maybe EVGA has a business relationship problem with AMD specifically? When working I use the CPU temp to guide the color of the RGB. Once upon a version, I had the AIO and GPU synced and showing my CPU temp in color. That was cool. My last comment; my EVGA PSU, GPU and AOI perform their intended functions exceptionally well. So great job for that! Venting completed off to breakfast now.

To vanadiel007, please let us know which version you switch back to and if it works or is still reporting odd values for the temperature. I have tried switching back to version 8 then tried version 6. I cannot get any version to work. Wondering if a registry entry is possibly involved. Wonder if there is a "EVGA clean uninstall" program. Like the DDU that Nvidia has. More field reports needed.

vanadiel007, what motherboard and which processor are you using?  Which OS?  Do you have any other monitoring software programs running?
 
miklet, are your system specs up-to-date in your signature?  Which OS?  Any other software monitoring programs running?

I went back to version 2.0.8. Everything works fine except the CPU Temp. It reports 10 degrees less than actual. (It has always done that and I opened a ticket for that when I first got this unit and was told it is a known issue).
Also, version 2.0.9 displays the firmware as Version 0.0.0.0. Version 2.0.8 displays it as Version 2.10.0.0.
 
I would say something is up with the driver, which is installed as a service if I am not mistaken.

 
vanadiel007, thank you for the additional comments. I tried the version 8, version 5 and version4 and all still report the higher temp. Extra puzzle, why does version 8 work as it used to for you, but not for me!?! Curious about the shown version number. I wonder if there are more than one version 8's in the wild. Standby I will clean re-install version 8. Indeed my version 8 also reports it is 2.10.0.0..

My version 2.0.8 came directly from the Evga download location, so did version 2.0.9.
I can only speculate it is a driver issue as the firmware revision for this unit has to be read from the unit and for that you will need the driver supplied with the flow control software.
 
On a side note with version 2.0.9 they have fixed the issue with the software loading after the driver is initialized instead of before.
With version 2.0.8 and auto startup with windows enabled the software will error out saying it cannot find the hardware.
You have to start it up a second time. A minor issue, but still an issue.

Very odd!  Mine is spot on.  EVGA Motherboard (X299 FTW K).  v2.0.8
 
 
 
 

They are both on AMD boards - that is what they are trying iron out

If I allow FlowControl to follow it's default installation then use uninstall to remove, where would I look for a leftover folder or files. More information please, I can't find what I do know where to look for. I spent a good hour examining the Registry looking for "leftovers" but did not locate any. However, I did not know where that search should occur either. How do you confirm that any leftovers have been found?

It not a problem! if you can open Files Explorer and go open "Program Files (x86)" > "EVGA" > "Flow Control" delete this folder after you have uninstall software. Then you re restart your windows and reinstall again. Hope it will work for you! My here is no problem but I set to manual fan because too loud noise on Auto!!!

Whoever the coder is, I love how he/she fails us....

FLOW temp  ? the water temperature ?
 

weird...i have installed 2.0.8 and work flawlessly, good temps now
 
Thx

Flow Control is rubbish piece of sw....Set the fans at manual speed and forget it.
