Hi,

I've noticed my CPU temps are too hot, and I can't figure out why. My fans and radiator are all clear. I clean it regularly and the CPU is less than half a year old. The only thing that has changed is my Motherboard. I replaced it due to my old one having a fault, but since my CPU temps have been idling 50-60.
I've tried to change my fan placements for airflow but no result. I'm going to buy more fans, but I'm 100% sure the problem isn't fans as it was running 40 degrees on my old motherboard. The rest of my PC from my GPU - my RAM is fine idling at -30 degrees
Specs:
Processor AMD Ryzen 9 7900 12-Core Processor, 3701 Mhz, 12 Core(s), 24 Logical Processor(s)
BaseBoard Product B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI (MS-7E26)
GPU: RTX 3070
RAM: 32gb
PSU: Corsair RM750x 80 PLUS Gold
Case: CORSAIR 3000D AIRFLOW Mid-Tower PC Case

Temps from writing are 58deg idle CPU with 4199cpu frequency

Hello samm.

The only thing that has changed is my Motherboard. I replaced it due to my old one having a fault, but since my CPU temps have been idling 50-60.

Can I ask what the problem was with the original board + what are you using to monitor the CPU temps.

Download then run Speccy ( free ) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.
