aurora r4 temperature 1 averaging 95 degrees

Sounds like your Liquid Cooling system might be going out. Are you under warranty?

Pretty sure whatever the LED lighting was doing was just a coincidence.

Also, restate your temps and if they are in C or F. Also, what are you doing on machine (idle, gaming, etc.)

Try CPU-ID HW-Monitor .

 

MajorThorburn,

If you check the temperatures with the HW-Monitor as Tesla said, and they go above the 90° definitely the system is overheating, you can check this article so you can monitor the temperatures on the proper way.

Thank you for all your responses. I have phoned Dell support and they have raised an order for an engineer to visit and fit a replacement water cooling module. As for monitoring. I have been using the HW Monitor in place of Command Center as that was not showing the correct temperatures so was uninstalled as agreed with Dell technical support as not being required for normall running. It now looks to me like in this instance command center would have reported the failed cooling and have shut the system down and prevented me from continuing to use it. I will be reinstalling command center after this HW fix is in place in order to check if the temperature reading problem has been resolved and if not raise a new Dell support ticket for that software problem as it now appears to me that command center is in fact a requirement for the healthy and safe running of this system.
