High temperatures on a 3900x?

[DevilsHand676]

I finally replaced my 1600x with a 3900x. The 3900x will idle around 55C usually and max out at just about 80C on stress tests. I haven't done any manual overclocking but its running at 4.26GHz. I have an Artic Liquid Freezer 2 240mm. I know these temps aren't that worry some and I know that it would run hotter than the 1600x (that was around 35C), But i thought they would be a bit cooler, and this doesn't leave me any room really to put in a manual overclock. I've tried reseating it and even getting the fancy Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, but it hasn't changed temps at all.

 

To read temps im just looking at the Temp Package(Node 0) on HWMonitor. But i guess this is a second side question, what Temperature is right on HWMonitor? CPU Temperature, Chipset Temperature, or Package (Node 0)? ((See image attached)) Motherboard is a ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming

That motherboard really is not going to let you overclock much anyway (poor VRMs) . Is this the Rev 1 board?

 

Also use Ryzen Master to overclokc and see temps. only Ryzen Master and "HWINFO64" are really accurate

try setting the pump at full bore if it isn't already, along with adjusting fan curves

You're supposed to be able to get decent OCs from this board. Vrm cooling is adequate and the Freezer 2 has a fan built into the block to cool the vrm as well. But I'm not trying to do any overclocking at the moment anyways. 

 

It is the Rev 1 of the board, but I don't think that would affect the actual temps of the cpu. HWinfo gives the same temps as HWMonitor.

No it is not. It can only handle 75A and yoru cpu under full load is over 100A wihtout any overclocking. Asus noticed how bad the VRMS was with the b450 tuf and strix so they made Rev 2 boards like a mont or twwo ago. They are ittle better but not meant to handle 3900x.

 

It is odd that your pc have not shutdown yet, mayby the VRM cooler of the Freezer 2 is actualy doing something

Crazy how you say it's bad but VRM temps never go above 55C during aida64, maybe it is that feature Artic designed to specifically cool vrm. But again this isn't to do with VRM temps, it's to do with the temps of the actual cpu.

Everybody says that + it is a fact. My VRMs with capacity of 200A warm up to 60C wiht 3700x with well ventilated case. 55C can not be true

How do you monitor VRM temps?
