How to check for damaged CPU IHS on Ryzen Ryzen processors??

Um... just look at it, really. If it isn't a flat piece of metal that looks like what google images spits out, it's damaged. Not sure what you're looking for here. Either the metal is intact, or some of it is missing.

Looks like this....feels flat to me but temps are really high these days, I did everything from cleaning heatsink to changing thermal paste, nothing works so was wondering if the IHS is damaged..

Yep that looks like an IHS. Seems fine. 

There's a few things you could do, in increasing order of "less likely and/or worth it":

1. update your BIOS
2. once you do, make sure that reasonable settings (esp voltages) are being applied. some motherboards screw up and use too many volts, sometimes
3. make sure your expectations are reasonable. you just said things are really warm, but you can look up reviews of the CPU, case, and cooler you're using to make sure your expectations meet up with realiy
4. remount the CPU cooler, making sure to apply tension evenly (screw the screws down bit by bit in an alternating pattern, not just one all the way down then the next). also apply thermal paste, ofc, and remember: it's easy to use too little, hard to use too much
5. dust everything
6. delid your CPU. the 2400G can be delidded, and is not soldered, so esp if you use liquid metal, you can drop temps a lot. 

 

Give those things a shot, and see if it helps

I'm worried because previously the max temps under load was 72°C now it's going as high as 83°C, but anyways thanks for the suggestions will try them and update the results
