    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://forum.asrock.com/member_profile.asp?PF=1110">PetrolHead</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 7150<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 03 Jan 2018 at 6:17am<br /><br />The UEFI reading is nothing to worry about. Other ASRock boards do the same thing. I am not sure if this is because the CPU is not actually idle in BIOS or because a temperature offset is used as some kind of a safety measure against poorly installed CPU coolers, but it seems to be intentional. Ryzen Master should show the correct CPU temperature. At least on my system its readings match those of HWMonitor and they also behave as they should. 45 degrees seems high for idle, but I don't really know how hot Threadrippers tend to run.<br>]]>

(as me)..u can ignore what bios says and keep fans at 20~30% for tDIE cpu temps<br>cant get over 40degrees on 4.1GHz on all cores <br><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by kerberos_20 - 03 Jan 2018 at 6:17am</span>]]>
