[SOLVED] X570 chipset is hot, should I be worried?

[BrandonFitzpatricc]

I have the MSI MPG X570 Gaming Pro Carbon WiFi, and the chipset seems to average around 40-50° C while idle. I’m assuming this is normal for the X570 chipsets, but I just want to make sure. And I’ve heard that the chipset fan will activate entirely on it’s own when the chipset is getting too hot, is that true?

40-50c will not hurt silicon.

Yes, the chipset fan works automatically.

That sounds like a reasonable temperature.
On my ROG Strix B450-F Gaming MB with a Ryzen 5 2600 OC'd to 4 GHz, my Chipset (PCH) temperature idles at 41 - 43c and maxes out around 46 - 47 C.
The 3000 series CPU's seem to run hotter and draw more current so they cause Chipset to run hotter.
Hopefully they will be able to improve the temperatures in future BIOS updates.

That seems to be a fairly reasonable temperature, usually 70+ is where you start thinking about worrying. It seems that the fan curve for the chipsets is very conservative as to not make the fan noise audible unless needed.

Hi, my system, based on 3900x with 64 GB (32 x 2) and motherboard Asrock x570 creator.

The processor temperature is very good, between 30º in Idle and 65º with Aida64 test or prime95 torture, but the problem is with the chipset.
The chipset have two temperatures, and withe the fan at maximun one temperature is about 50º in Idle and 95 with prime95. With Aida the temp. goes up to 103º I think is very high.

Not exist more information about this?

It does not seem like a temperature for a silicon chip to have a high life.

Do you have any references or links for 12nm node reliability factors vs. temperature?

Last I read, the X570 chipset uses an I/O chiplet built on GF's 12nm node. The same I/O chiplet used in Ryzen 3000 CPU's. Maybe that's changed, but I haven't seen it yet.

My concern is the VRM temps... I had the same board and the VRMs hit 95+ degrees at which point the CPU speed was throttled down with the 3900x.

That seems awfully high. I had a MSi X570 Gaming Pro Carbon and now an ASUS X570 ROG Crosshair VIII Hero with a 3900x. Neither board exceeded 50-55 degrees on the chipset.

But the MSi board VRMs hit 95+ degrees at which point the CPU speed throttled down.

I replaced the MSi with the ASUS and now VRMs barely registers 50 degrees under load with Prime95.

You have tested with prime95 and Aida64 with all options enabled?

I have the temperature you say.... but in idle only.

I read in other sites Asus X570-e have the same problem so is very confuse that you not have temperatures higher of 55-º in your systems. In this motherboards, the name for the sensors is confuse becouse for example in Aida is named CPU Diode and PCH Diode, have two sensors, one in the core of southbridge chipset and other near, the problem if withe the temperature of the core, may be the name can be Byxbi or similar.

VRM temps aren’t a concern for me. I have a 3700x, which the Gamimg Pro Carbon has no problem handling
