AMD Ryzen 1600X offset temp

[RockerM3]

I know that it has the +20ºC offset temperature, it's 51ºC on idle and my fan has a TDP of 130W so my question is: even though the temp is really high, is there any risk at all? Like getting too hot and turning off my computer or stuff like that

Thanks!

What tool is reporting the 51C temp? In Windows the "Ryzen master" software from AMD itself will display an accurate temperature. If that temp is accurate, it's safe if rather high for an idle reading.

The tool is HWMonitor and I know the Ryzen Master software will display the actual temperature but the thing is that it only works on Win10 and I don't have it installed.

There are factors like airflow, what cooler you use, and TDP all effecting your temps. 51C is a touch high. You don't have to worry about your temps being an issue until you start getting temps past 80C or so under load (gaming, encoding, things like that).

A mate of mine was concerned about the same thing since he recently upgraded to Ryzen.
He was getting 50c idle and ~70c gaming load, after factoring in the offset that's 30c for idle and 50c for gaming, nothing to worry about there.

I didn't understand, did he turn off the offset in some way? Or how did he solve it?

I don't think you can turn it off.
I'm pretty sure he said the latest version of AIDA64 accounts for the offset and shows the right temp, or its an option within AIDA64 settings.
If the program you use doesn't account for the offset just remember to always subtract 20c from the shown temp and that will be the actual cpu temp.
