Chipset runs hot

[Sminka]

A month ago I bought a Crosshair VII Hero with a Ryzen 3700x. Now I have noticed that the chipset is already 50c warm in idle and when I play something the temperature rises to 68c.

Is that normal? My case is a Fractal Meshify C and i have two noctua a12x25 in the front. Since the mainboard is moved backwards with this case,

it doesn't get any air from the front fans. And the graphics card blows the warm air on the chipset. Is that correct and is this temperature safe?

I have seen cpus run at over 100°C including one of my test subjects still runing at 105°C so nothing to worry about there. If it actualy gets too hot, the PC will shut down itself automatically to protect itself.

But i meant the chipset itself on the mainboard. The CPU runs cool between 50-65c.

I have the gigabyte X570 aorus master, mine was up around 75 and im using a P3 Thermaltake Open Case, the moment i put a fan blowing air across the board it dropped down to 58.

Oke. Im just curious because i use the x470 Chipset and its that hot. My old intel mainboard had a very cool chipset
