7800X3D Package Temperature Delta with Core

[ginjaninja]

These are my idle temps is it normal for package temp to be so much higher than core?
just checking I've put the cooler on properly....

am running stock with expo enabled and 1.125 Soc voltage. NH-D15.

thanks

Have you tried running a stress test?

Yup, Normal, if you run a stress test it will be 90oC before youve barely pressed start.

Check your cooler screws, my temps were the same when i just built my system, i tightened the screws and dropped 10c.
Currently 37c with fans at 600rpm cinebench gets up to 78c fans about 80%
i have 5c difference between cores and die

i only did them 'thumb tight'
interesting in cinebench 30 mins both core and package converge to package 88c and core 85c

Well i would say thumb tight is far to loose.

trouble is, when they designed Ryzen 7000, and wanted to keep compatibility with coolers from the previous generation of CPU's but change from PGA to LGA which lowered the socket, the only way they could do it was to put a massive heatspreader on top of the cores, I think last I heard it was nearly 4mm thick, and that doesnt help with temps at all.

You really dont want to tighten the screws with anything more than your thumbs, too much pressure on the socket is not a good thing, most coolers come with thumb screws for a reason or have some sort of stop on the screws to stop you overtightening

Ryzen 7000 Series Super-Thick IHS: The WORST Mistake AMD Has Ever Made

I wanted to talk about why AMDs decision to keep AM4 cooler compatibility with AM5 was probably the biggest mistake AMD has ever made, and why the alternative was a much better option. For those of you unaware, AMD AM5 (Ryzen 7000 series) CPUs all have an IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader) that is ab...
