cpu temps on x370 taichi

Your board has a full suite of temperature sensors, but you need to use a monitoring program that actually is worth using, as well as being kept up to date for new hardware.

HWiNFO64 temperature monitoring in it's sensor display, among many other things, is the best you can use IMO.

My ASRock X370 Killer SLI/ac board with HWiNFO64, shows both of the reported Ryzen CPU temperatures (Tctl and Tdie), VRM temperatures (CPU and SOC VRMs), memory temperature (if your memory has temperature sensors), drive temperatures, voltages, power usage, fan speeds, too many to list. Your board's A-Tuning program also shows the CPU temperature (Tdie) and a few other things.



I'd say it's a bit early to know at what voltages deterioration of Ryzen processors occurs. I will say the Auto VCore values in the UEFI are as usual more than necessary, but that is normal when a new processor is being used for the first time.
