    Thanks Bryan, I thought I remembered one project causing me issues but I had forgotten which one it was. Will still do a check tomorrow but tonight I'll continue to monitor temps with a 10C increase on my 80C warning that I had set up. I was hoping the Kraken would easily keep up with my cpu temps but it's self overclocking seems to be a bit too powerful for it.

    Video is currently uploading, encoding will most likely take most of the night but will post a link in the morning after I confirm its up.

    Try moving over to CSG and run it full bore to get a comparison of temps. CSG does not use AVX. AVX really heats up the processor but on most (not all) projects it makes a huge difference. I wouldn't tear things apart until you've run another project or 2 and get a baseline.

    If you look at the WU running on Asteroids it will tell you whether or not it is using AVX ... it's shown at the end of the WU name.

    If your machine is running AVX and the temps are within the normal limits then you are good to go. They will never get any hotter than when running the AVX/FMA3 instruction set.

    102.10 AVX, Man, you are just trying to stop me from poking at the innards . I know I should let it be but having someone else do the build, even if they are professional builders, not knowing how much paste they used, where the hell they routed cords, and why they put certain components this way instead of that. It gets to me...lol. I'll finish up the WU's I have tonight and let it chew on something else in the morning before I do a teardown.

    I can't argue with your logic

    There's a CAM update available that is supposed to fix Ryzen temp reporting.

    Thanks! I'm wondering why it didn't prompt me to do the upgrade already. Now I can adjust my temp warnings back down to "normal". Thanks John!
