Higher temp is used internally by XFR to regulate core frequency and keep temps down, also is used by every core separately. Temp with offset is shown externally for monitoring and adjust fan speed for instance."Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive."

Every time that crazy 'offset' comes up in topics like this that's the first thing to pop into my mind.
Of course, that's relevant to 2700X."AMD specifies 85°C as the maximum safe temperature for a Ryzen™ 7 2700X processor. Ideally, you would want to have at least 20°C to 30°C of thermal headroom at stock before thinking of overclocking the chip.

Interesting that the 2700 & 2700X have a 10C difference in max operating temps. All the other 8 core CPUs (1000, 2000, & 3000 series) have 95C whereas 2700X is the lone 85C. Even the 6 core are 95C, makes me wonder if their 2700X info has a misprint.Of course, that's relevant to 2700X.

AMD max temps are 95C for a 2700! AMD's very own published number there. That said of course, keeping temperature as low as possible is a good idea since any temperature (above absolute zero) advances degradation inevitably. 85C is a good 'line in the sand' to use for a working temperature, i.e., the fully stabilized temperature while your processor is running extremely long-duration heavy processing tasks.
I like that temp because right about there is where my processor will 'stabilize' under an extremely heavy task (prime95) with everything on full 'auto'. That means the algorithm has lowered frequency and voltage as needed to keep under it, so it must be what the algorithm thinks is proper and 'safe'.
I doubt very seriously it would be a misprint left there for two years now, published into every CPU box manual (very tiny...use a magnifier to find it) and driving a major financial liability to the corporation (warranty returns vs. relative market performance). Marketing and IT heads roll for things like that.Interesting that the 2700 & 2700X have a 10C difference in max operating temps.

"Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive."X models of 1st had 20c offset and 2nd gen Ryzen have 10c offset between internally used core temps. One that's more important is Cpu(tdie) reported temp.
