Small AIO and ambient temperature.

Hi,
all, is there someone who can explain me how much ambient temperature can influence CPU temperature with small AIO?

This winter I had 20°c on my room and my CPU temp never went over 73°c.
Now I have 25°c in the room and the CPU temp is up to 78°c.

I'm using a Corsair H80i GT.

This summer my room will go up to 30°c, does this means that my CPU will go up to 83°C?
+1°c ambient temp equals to +1°c CPU temp?

Thanks
 
I kinda doubt its that easy to predict. I would guess more like 78-80 or something. Maybe you have a bit of wiggle room to drop the voltage a notch or raise the fan/pump speed? That or maybe you could enable some power savings not in use yet?
 
Well, it is actually pretty much the way you said - an increase in ambient temperature of 5 degrees means an increase in cpu temperature by about 5 degrees. At least that's how most reviewers adjust their resulting temperatures when ambient changes. Also, you cooler can reduce the temperature by X amount of degrees at the same fan speed. If the ambient goes up, cpu temps go up.
