Question MSI Bios - Max CPU temps

[SupaNova_]

Ive been getting beeps from my motherboard that I think are telling me my CPU temps are too high, but they dont actually seem to be. I wanted to know if I should disable the motherboards beeping noise and also, what does the motherboard think is too hot? 60°C? 70°C?

PC with the Issue:

• i7-8700K
• RTX 2060 SUPER
• MSI Z390-A Pro Motherboard
• 16GB 3200MHz Corsair Vengeance RGB
• NEX750B 750W 80+ Bronze PSU
• Hyper Evo 212 CPU Cooler

Since I have a AMD 3900X system, I cannot verify what temps the Intel i7-8700 would run. Basically, temps below 80 degrees are not of a concern. My AMD 3900x actually will peak at ~90 degrees C, this seems pretty common because of the high core count. I would imagine the i7-8700K should be in the 70-80 degree range but I could be wrong.

Another factor to be concerned is the VRM temps. VRMs should not exceed 80 degrees for long periods of time for best practices, but they are supposed to be pretty safe up to 90 degrees. Above 90 degrees indicates a crappy power supply design on the board.

The hyper 212 evo is fine for a stock 8700k. You don't want to go past 90C with that chip, or itll thermal throttle

How do you check VRM temps? I was able to confirm at worst my CPU temps get between 70° and 80° so I don't think that is all the problem. Still testing though.

Use HWiNFO64 to get the VRM temps...

Also, do you have a fan close to the VRM? It's always recommended to have a fan near your VRM, intake or exhaust doesn't matter.
