| 1444115 | 2017-12-27 23:16:00 | My Ryzen seems to work fine but I've had a couple of 111° reported in HW Monitor. Also the voltage regulator module regularly approaches 80°. I emailed Gigabyte about the VRM temp (it was before I got the 111° reports) and they said to "use the Gigabyte app not third party apps". I'm a bit worried about cooling The Gigabyte app reports a "cpu" temp but I don't know whether this comes from interrogating the CPU or from a separate sensor on the MB near the CPU? A separate sensor might save them from having to update the BIOS a lot |

| 1444116 | 2017-12-28 01:59:00 | Have a read of this: www.hwinfo.com It seems that a 20degC offset correction has to be applied to the core sensor. It appears that AMD use both internal CPU temperature sensors and a sensor in the socket which contacts the CPU. In the days when I used AMD Athlons, the socket sensor had to be bent upwards a little so that it contacted the underside of the CPU. I used to put a small dab of paste on the sensor bead. I never had any faith in such a device. I drilled a 0.5mm hole in the heatsink and bonded in a thermocouple lapped flush with the heat sink to get a better idea of CPU case temperature. |

| 1444117 | 2017-12-29 07:10:00 | Thank you Terry. I have read the link and others and I am now as much in the dark as everyone else :) But I did get the feeling that there was nothing for me to worry about. And I should keep the BIOS and Gigabyte apps up to date |
