Dear all, on my B550 Taichi + 5950x, I have made an accidental mistake - which was to leave all fans operating at "minimum" speed possible, hard coded. As I had HWInfo running anywasy, I looked at some temperatures after I have player for ~45min. Are these temps already troublesome? Did I potentially damage my board or components on it? Some temperatures from HWInfo: - "VR Loop 1" was at 64°C - Motherboard was at 54°C - 5950X was at 90° - hitting the thermal limit - 5950X IO Die was at ~43°C Thank you very much in advance! |

It's unlikely that the system was damaged given the thermal protections built in to modern motherboards. I would still avoid running the system on low fans while under load in future, it can shorten the lifespan of the components to run at thermal limits for prolonged periods. In your case however, you should be fine. -------------
