Msi tomahawk max questions.

I've just built my first ryzen build today, paired the above motherboard with a ryzen 5 3600. Instead of stock cooler I used an old artic freezer 13 with artic silver 5 paste.

Everything works fine but I'm getting some weird temperature readings.

If I use HW Monitor it reports the cpu around 45c idle, Aida 64 says around 31c. In the bios it says around 31c as well so what one should I trust?

Also I have three hdds running, 2 mechanical and 1 ssd as boot. My ssd doest seem to trigger the hdd light on the case, but the other two do, not a big thing just weird.

And one more question, is there a way to to disable the splash screen on boot, I can't find the option anywhere.

Sorry this is a long post.

Cheers.

SJ.

Have you downloaded the Ryzen Master software direct from AMD, that'll give you the correct temps, though from experience when it's open it boosts the temps but it's accurate

This is so true, nowadays it's portrayed as cool.
