D-E Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Hello, just upgraded to a ryzen 2600/am4-system and got 2 questions: 1. For cpu temperature, i could choose "CPU" or "CPU Diode"...as far as i can see, they show the same value with a 1° difference sometimes...does it make a difference which one i pick for my sensor panel/OSD ? 2. It alsho shows a "VRM"-temperature...which seems to stay locked at 29°...what exactly is this and does it ever change its value ? Thx in advance, Chris.

Thx in advance, Chris. 1) "CPU" is measured by the motherboard sensor chip, while "CPU Diode" is measured by the CPU itself using its on-die thermal diodes. We generally recommend using the latter, since it doesn't depend on the motherboard or the motherboard sensor chip. 2) It depends on the motherboard model. It may be an invalid (bogus) reading either. What kind of motherboard do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should´ve mentionend the motherboard in the first post..it´s an Asrock B450 Pro4, latest bios-version (1.80). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASRock B450 chipset based motherboards should provide a VRM temperature reading properly, but maybe your motherboard has an issue measuring it. Can you see a different VRM thermal reading in the UEFI Setup or BIOS Setup or ASRock's own monitoring tool that has its value changing with system load?

D-E Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Just tried with Asrocks Tool and putting up some load....vrm-temperature there is stuck at 29° all the time too. Guess the sensor is faulty there or its a bios bug, at least it isn´t some bug in aida when asrocks own tool reports the same :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've removed VRM temperature reading on both ASRock B450 Pro4 and B450M Pro4 in the latest AIDA64 beta build available at: https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some other people in other forums with the same problem together with one (unconfirmed) claim that according to asrock the board isnt supposed to have a vrm sensor anyway. On a sidenote: The support here, especially from you, is really great :). I don´t write often here (usually only when i got a new pc), but still read from time to time and support is always knowledgeful and quick.
