Asus ROG Strix X570-e high chipset temps

[Stefan3006]

H all,

 

just finished building a new rig with following components:

- Mobo: Qsus ROG Strix X570-E
- CPU: Ryzen 7 3800x

- RAM: 16GB (2 x 8GB) Corsair vengenance LPX 3600 CL18
- SSD: Samsung Evo plus 1TB 
- GPU: Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080 TI OC (from previous machine)

- Case: Fractal Design - Define R5 PCGH

 

At first glance everything looked good (idle CPU around 30C) until I noticed the chipset fan spinning at 3500rpm with an idle chipset temp of around 75C.

I know the X570 uses more power, so more heat, but this is really high I think.

 

It appears that the GPU is blocking the fan intake of the chipset and blowing all it's heat onto it.

So I did a load test of the GPU with furmark and watched the Chipset temp rise to 91-93C, so now it's giving me the creeps... For what I know these are not healthy temps

 

After searching all day I found out that lot's of people are having these temp issues, but not all as high as these, and never a solution.

 

Is there anything I can do to lower these temps or should I return the mobo and replace it and if so with what, as almost all X570 mobo's suffer this design error...

 

 

Thanks for your thoughts,

Stefan

What is the chipset fan speed? Is your GPU blocking the chipset fan? What is the chipset temp?

 

Move the gpu down the second slot. This is one of the reasons why I skip X570.

I edited mine a minute ago after you edited yours. Move your GPU from pcie slot 1 to slot 2 to see if the temp improves. If not then you will have to increase the chipset fan speed.

unfortunately that is something I can't do. The GPU is a 2.7 slot wide card that is blocking all usb, audio and button headers.

I'm thinking of replacing the board with to a x470 chipset. Crosshair VII Hero as it's about the same price.

After this chipset temp issue I was searching if this was also the case with the X470 chipset, but so far I found nothing, which is good 

 

Do you think this will solve my problem?

 

Thx

Switching to x470 will solve your problem. The x470 crosshair vii can run 3950x too. The only downside downgrade from x570 to x470 is losing pcie 4. 93c on chipset is no good in a long term. 

 

Can you mount your gpu vertically?

I don't think I need PCIe4 in the near future. Only took the X570 for resale-ability in 5 years or so. 

 

I don't have a case that support vertical GPU installation. And I can't find a new case that supports a GPU that wide. Be quiet (I like silent cases) only support up to 2.5 slots but ;ine is 2.7.

 

Thanks for the help

Then go x470 crosshair vii hero.
