Hi,
After 2 years i upgraded my PC.

Specs:
Cpu: Ryzen R7 1700
Mobo: Biostar x370 Gtn
Cooler: Kraken x62
Case: Manta

I put AIO in push/pull configuration as intake with 4x 140mm fans, and set 1x 120mm on back and 2x120 on top as exhausts. I think i have pretty decant cooling so i decide to overclock.

First i put my voltage on 1,35 V and frequency on 3,9 GHz. After i start aida64 my socket temps went immediately to 90C but CPU Tdie went only to 60. So i dialed down a little bit so i have
1,265 V and 3,75 GHz. After half hour of aida64 my temps settled at 56 C on Cpu Tdie and 89 C on cpu socket as shown on image.

Is this normal to have so much offset between socket temp and Cpu temp?

Thank you for the answers.

I think so because temps reported by cpu looks normal and also the temps drop really quick after benchmark is stoped. And my idle temps are 29 C on cpu and 48 C on socket. My room temp is 25 C.
 
As you mentioned that Corsair Temp is only 40'c and CPU temp i can see that its 90+
there can be two things
1st Either the H100i is not mounted properly but i doubt that
or its issue with the H100i i recommend you to use the stock cooler it will keep it cool better then H100i

Hi,
me again i tried to remount the cooler but temps stayed the same.

After trying a few diferent softwers for monitoring temperature i figured out that HWinfo64 doesn't have the right labels for temps.
When i opened Racing GT, which is official biostar softwear the temperature for socket and motherborad are the same as in Hwinfo64 for system and Temperature2 as shown on picture.

Hwinfo System = Racing Gt Sys. temp
Hwinfo Temperature 2 = Racing Gt CPU temp

Becasue i still didn't know what the third temp is, I contacted Biostar support and they replied me with.

Question:
"I have a question about motherboard temperatures. If I open HWinfo64 i get 3 temperatures. 1. is CPU socket and it report the same temperatures as the CPU (60°C max load): same in GT racing 2. is motherboard tempearature (45°C max load): same in GT racing 3. one which i don't know what it measures, but HWinfo report temps above 90°C, which worryies me. So can you tell what this sensor is measuring and if this temps are ok. Best regards "

Question Reply:
"Dear Sir, Regarding to your question, please use Biostar Racing GT utility > HW Monitor to detect temperature. Sorry that do not support and guarantee third party utility,such as HWinfo 64 S/W."

So if anyone figure out what that third temperature is reporting, please let me know.

Thanks for all.
