ASRock very ugly has acted at this high price should not be high temperatures on the chipset

I was able to deal with this by buying an additional fan holder mounted on the track from the pci_e ports on the asian shop "aliexpress",



in this way, you're breaking the temperature to 40-50'C]]> Thu, 21 Mar 2019 05:45:05 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8465&PID=61583&title=asrock-z370-taichi-hot-chipset#61583 <![CDATA[ASRock Z370 Taichi - Hot chipset : well, I have the z370 professional...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8465&PID=60983&title=asrock-z370-taichi-hot-chipset#60983 Author: Edropian

well, I have the z370 professional i7 Fatal1ty and whatever else the name says and it is practically the Taichi with the aquantia onboard.

I had the same issue from day one idle at around 55-58 and under load 60-65 at times when here in Greece is summer and everything melts down.

I won't say that this is acceptable but coming from previous experience with a Gigabyte UD7-X58 I had the same issue there too and things there were even worse.

That Mobo still runs rock solid after a decade of pretty rough usage.

My point is to not freak out as this is probably a MoBo design issue as they have to put it somewhere in order to serve what it serves and most of the times the put it close to the GPU and taking into account what it goes through in a medium to a high-end system ... it makes perfect sense that it goes with such temps.

Unfortunately, the position offers no options for alternative cooling solutions so all you (myself included) have to do ... is to digest it and move forward.

Hello Guys!

I also have the Z370 Taichi Motherboard with 8700k processor.
Idle is my 8700k around 28/29 degrees.

And my PHC temp is 

Idle around 52 degrees
While gaming max 59 degrees.

Are those temps normal?

Maybe because the NVM hard disk (also gets hot) is under the chipset, and the (big) videocard is also covering the chipset..........

Please let me know what temps you have? and if my temps are normal?

well thats a design flaw of the taichi. mine goes to 70 and beyond when gaming, because that heatsink is more like a style ornament :P It should be better if u use a Downforce CPU cooler. though

did you ever get this straightened out? I'm having the same problem except for my pch can get to 75 while gaming. I have great airflow and my cpu and gpu stay under 70c loaded and 40ish idling. An extra case fan pointing right at the heatsink can keep it under 60c idling but my setup has the motherboard inverted and perhaps this is why. Maybe the heatsink is holding the heat while upside down? ]]> Thu, 06 Sep 2018 05:36:37 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8465&PID=55809&title=asrock-z370-taichi-hot-chipset#55809 <![CDATA[ASRock Z370 Taichi - Hot chipset : @UPI turned off the fan (number...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8465&PID=50859&title=asrock-z370-taichi-hot-chipset#50859 Author: mutissj

@UP

I turned off the fan (number 3) in the program (channel 4), it does not make any difference, 

except that the HDD is heating up by 5-7 degrees more

Fan 3 should be blowing out of the case, not in.  Hot air normally rises and with Fan 3 blowing down you could be forcing the hot air back down around the PCH and Video card.
Humor me and change fan 3 to blow out and re-check your temperature please.

I recorded a video with the test

  • [1.] 00:02 the beginning, checking - is hot
  • [2.] 00:20 dryer test (cold air) PCH ~ 60'C
  • [3.] 02:43 PCH temperature dropped to ~ 46'C
  • [4.] 02:45 movie - checking the thermal insert
  • [5.] 04:53 after what time the temperature will come back?
  • [6.] 04:59 PCH ~ 49'C
  • [7.] 05:38 PCH ~ 50'C
  • [8.] 06:10 PCH ~ 51'C
  • [9.] 07:17 PCH ~ 52'C
  • [10.] 07:55 PCH ~ 53'C
  • [11.] 08:55 PCH ~ 54'C
  • [12.] 10:02 PCH ~ 55'C
  • [13.] 12:12 PCH ~ 56'C
  • [14.] 13:19 PCH ~ 57'C
  • [15.] 15:46 PCH ~ 58'C


*the heat sink at 50'C is warm
*the heat sink at 60'C is hot
*the heat sink at 65'C + is very hot, I can touch the moments


- while working on the graphic card, you can not hold your finger on PCH because it burns hard
(PCH 65-70'C)


- RMA - I can not stand a month without a computer, I have to collect money for a replacement motherboard


- I think I can pull it and check it, a screwdriver is enough? I have to buy a new thermal-pad?
