[SOLVED] Tomahawk B550 good BIOS temperature

[Star2222]

Hi,
what is a safe temperature range for a Ryzen 9 3900x on a Tomahawk B550 Motherboard when in BIOS?

Many thanks

In BIOS it should be relatively low, somewhere around 40 C

Thank you @thefreemaker957, mine continually floats between 43 and 53 deg C. If I increase the fan speed it still remains in that range.

Any suggestions to lower it?

Thank you

How many fans do you have? If you really want to lower it you can either get a really good cooler like a Noctua or even get a AIO cooler.

That is fine for ryzen CPU.

Note that in BIOS the CPU is going to be at its base frequencies for sanity checking reasons (plus it's more code to do thermal management).

So it's going to be warmer than if you were idling in the OS.

Not to worry about temps in BIOS. Modern CPUs are highly dynamic and have own temp control beyond BIOS. While they may not be truly at idle power saving features are not enabled so temps displayed while in BIOS are practically irrelevant.
