Hello,
I recently built a workstation using an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920x. My motherboard is a Asrock Taichi x399 and my CPU cooler a Noctua NH-U14S which was designed specifically for the Threadripper CPUs and apparently performs very well for most people.
I installed the motherboard's utility software and was startled to see that my CPU temp was hovering between 50C ambient and 80+C when rendering, which is way above what I expected. I downloaded 'Core Temp' - which seems to be a pretty popular CPU temp utility, and was relieved but also puzzled when it showed much lower temperatures. It's giving me a reading of 23C ambient right now.
Generally people seem to trust Core Temp above all else, as it apparently measures the temp of the actual CPU interior, but I'm still a little worried about the discrepancy. Is my motherboard utility just a load of bull?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
J
P.S. Does anyone OC their Threadripper? I've read some stuff online suggesting that you don't get a whole lot of bang for your buck versus with Intel CPUs.
