AMD Threadripper 1920x HWinfo reporting Tctl 99C?

[shandidy]

Hello,

I have switched to AMD THREADRIPER platform back in July of 2018 extremely happy with my system, I have not payed attention to the CPU temps since I got the system no freezes or issues system is stable, I have attached a screenshot of the 1920x temps after a one hour of Prime 95 Torture Test, as I just realized and I am not sure what is the deference between Tctl and Tdie, Tctl Max is 99.0C and Tdie Max is 72C, please advise if the temps attached are normal.

Thank you

tctl is supposed to have a 20 degree offset on Ryzen. That would mean tctl is actually reading 79°C rather than 99 degrees. I would download CoreTemp, run that and see what the actual core temperatures are showing. CoreTemp should be accurate for all Ryzen and Intel systems currently being sold.

Hello,

I have downloaded Coretemp as instructed and ran P95 for about 10 minutes here are the max temps

i am getting 71C on a 10 minute Run these temps should be ok?

Thanks

Those temps look fine.

As an extra measure of surety, you can also go into the Options tab on Core temp, and on the advanced tab put a check next to the box that says "Show distance to TJmax in temperature fields". Save settings and recheck max temps. Anything higher than ten degrees to TJmax should be fine.

I have enabled the distance to TJmax and it is showing as max 23C after a p95 Run for 20 minutes

Thanks for your help.

That works. Just be aware that "Distance to TJmax" works in reverse.

You aren't looking for the maximum numbers when using it, you are looking for minimum numbers. The smaller the distance to TJmax, the closer you are to an overheat or throttle condition. So 10°C Distance to TJmax is worse than 70°C Distance to TJmax.

Good luck to you Shandidy.
