[SOLVED] High idle VRM temps (Ryzen 5 2600 + ASRock B450M Pro4)

Ryzen 5 2600 with stock cooler, ASRock B450M Pro4 mobo (which does have VRM heatsinks). No overclock, haven't touched any settings. 4 case fans (2 front intake, back and top exhaust).

HWinfo is showing the VRM temps at around 90-94c at idle. The temps do vary, so it isn't a broken sensor. The temps are actually lower under load (~80c), which is weird but I suppose it could be because load -> higher cpu temp -> faster cpu fan -> more airflow on VRM heatsinks?

I'm not sure if this is a common problem with this board, or if I'm somehow doing something wrong? Or should I think about an RMA?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice!

Solution
I would guess it´s a readout failure. Check with other tools like aida64

Eventually you have to update the BIOS of the motherboard to get a more likely value in VRM. But I really think it´s just not correctly read from the tool.
