Hi everybody! I have a very noobish question, but can't find a straight answer to anywhere, I have an unRAID machine running on an AMD 1700x cpu, with an aio water cooler and I noticed that whenever I was pushing the CPU (80+% CPU usage), the temperatures would rise up to about a 90°C plateau.

 

I've found online reports that mentionned that the CPU/Motherboard (an asus crosshair hero 6) has a +20°C offset on the CPU for control purposes, and was wondering if the temperature reported by unRAID (using the Dynamix System Temperature plugin) was the temperature with or without that offset.

 

I've tried maxing out my fan curves in the motherboard's BIOS and even then, I plateau at roughly 85°C, hence why I'm starting to wonder if it's actually plateau-ing at 65°C, which would make much more sense from that CPU with the amount of cooling it's getting.

 

Thanks a lot!

coretemp will show two readings, Tctrl and Tdie and you can select use which for "CPU temp". Or you can use super-io chips reading too.

 

I have Ryzen 1700 and no offset, 1700x should have offset.

Thanks for your answer! I'm not sure how to use coretemp, when I'm using the sensor command in the terminal to access these (following the logic in this writeup), I only can see one temperature for the CPU Temperature, could you detail the process a tad more? Thanks a lot!

What have show in the pull down menu of plugin ? ** For AMD, it is k10temp not coretemp **

When I click on the pulldown I only get CPU and MB temps... could it be because there's an options mismatch?

 

Thanks again for your help!

 

Actually, it is because you assign Tdie as MB_temp and Tctl as CPU_temp.

 

They are different in 20c, that's match your founding on internet.

 

Pls clear the assignment, both temperature are come from CPU.

 

Pls ref. other post about how to make Unraid got MB_temp by super-io chip.

Ahhh thank you so much I didn't know, I thought MB Temp was the motherboard's chipset temperature! Thanks again!
