So, recently my PC has black/blue screened a couple times without warning, while playing games. I reinstalled the GPU driver, and wanted to monitor temps while gaming for a while to see if the temps were anything to worry about. I have downloaded Ryzen Master, HWMonitor, and Core Temp to try and watch the temps of my CPU, and the best I can get from any of them is a single temperature. HWMonitor gives me a Package (Node 0) temperature, current, min, and max, Ryzen Master gives me a single readout that just says "temperature", and Core Temp, under the Temperature Readings section, just says CPU #0: with one line of temps for current, min, and max. These programs know just about everything else, and they properly read out my 6 cores, 12 threads. For example, HWMonitor reads the individual voltages and clocks of all 6 cores, labelled 0 - 5, and the utilization of all 12 threads individually. How do you read the individual core temps? Im lost at this point, with so many places seeming to recommend different programs and/or fixes ranging from "your wrong it shows always" to "it never works, deal with it" What is the answer?
I did run the last game that it crashed while I was playing, and realized it is not going to be a temperature issue anyway. It BSOD while playing The Crew 2 most recently, but that game is capped at 60 FPS, and my usage is not high enough for temps to be an issue. My question still stands though, despite it not going to be an issue with my crashing/freezing problem.
Specs are
mobo - ASRock B450M Pro4
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
GPU - AMD RX Vega 56
RAM - 2x8 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200
Cooler - Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4
PSU - EVGA BQ 750 (already had to RMA one I used for under 2 years, current is at under 1 year use)
Case - NZXT H500 - The case fans have begun to make lots of noise, so I have been unplugging them, to see if noise stops. The first crash happened while both (only 2) case fans were unplugged to see if the noise was case fans or cooler fans. I suspected the overheating issue because of this, but Im near 100% sure that the DRP4 Cooler is more than enough to keep a Ryzen 5 from overheating without case fans. I now have the top fan plugged in again, since the bad fan seems at this point to be the rear fan.
