Hello!

I seem to be getting high (ish) temps with a brand new pretty powerful build. First boot up (with new motherboard) was today, with fresh windows install. First bootup for all components with old motherboard was 2 days ago.

Specs:

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
ASRock X670E Taichi Carrara
G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-6000 CL30 - 32GB
Asus ROG STRIX GAMING OC GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB Video Card
Deepcool LT720 WH AIO

Quick background, I had an ASUS X670E-A Gaming Wifi. There were bent pins, so I "upgraded" to the ASRock X670E Taichi Carrara. Before I realized there were bent pins on the ASUS, I was getting idle temps of 29-25 degrees celcius.

Now since the upgrade, my idle temps seem to be in the upper 59-67C. After seeing high temps, I disconnected my AIO, cleaned and reapplied thermal paste ensuring good contact. I can even feel that the radiator is pretty warm, so I know the AIO is doing it's job. (It's worth noting these numbers are from the Dr. Debug display. HWinfo has it about 2-3 degrees lower).

The only change was the new replacement motherboard, so it leads me to think that something with the ASRock is causing higher temps.

During a game of Overwatch, I was a pretty static 75 degress celcius (shouldn't really require much processing power after loading I wouldn't think). At certain points it was jumping upwards of high 80's. I haven't even put the PC to test yet with a more demanding game, as I'm slightly concerned with the temps. I know it's nothing dangerous at this point, however it feels high, and on a fresh build, I'd rather get everything right, than let the fail-safes keep it from overheating. Also, part of building such a powerful PC was to hope I wouldn't have to deal with loud fans at full speed just to make it playable.

I'm wondering what could be different with the ASRock? Are these numbers actually not that high, and I'm over thinking it? Can default BIOS settings be causing more load than needed?

Thanks in advance!

I noticed something similar with my x670e taichi and the current non-beta bios that the prior bios didn't do. Randomly see higher cpu temps like you're mentioning.

Is this happening all the time because a reboot seems to solve my issue. I was hesitant to post about it because changed some hardware and I thought it might be something else, plus my system rarely idles for long when I'm on it so it's hard to get a baseline.

I wonder if it's a setting that's causing this behavior. I'll keep an eye on my system and see if the cpu watts go up next time I notice the high cpu idle temps
