HWinfo64 showed 'CPU DIE - Average' 117c - 125c on two occasions with SOC and other voltages being +2V or higher.
OCCT monitoring software showed 'CPU DIE - Average' at 165c
Yesterday HWinfo64 showed my 'CPU DIE' - at 200+c
I've emailed both Asrock and AMD about this issue, using this forum as a source of what Mr Martin has said:
"This is clearly an erratum in CPU/SMU and AMD should look at that and fix it."
"Those spikes (which seem to be exactly double of what it should be) are in fact invalid/misreporting. So no damage can happen because of this, it's just a misreporting bug that should be fixed by AMD. It should be possible to fix it a BIOS update once they locate the bug." - (Martin HWiNFO Staff member)
Asrock supposedly set up a test bench with my mobo and CPU but could not replicate the results I was having, but did agree with what HWinfo said which was a sensor problem, and that the next AGESA / Bios could fix it.
"My colleagues in Taiwan have tested with B650M PG Riptide and Ryzen 7 7700X, but they could not reproduce the issue. Nevertheless, they will share the report with AMD."
"Thank you for the report. I agree with Martin from HWinfo that this appears to be an issue with the sensor reading/reporting in the CPU. I will share your report with my colleagues in Taiwan, so that they can check with AMD as well. Reports from partners and Martin might help to get more attention. Let’s hope AMD can fix it via AGESA somehow."
AMD's response was more like a robot talking to me until I showed them some of my information and after a few emails they just told me to claim a warranty as it seemed like a sensor problem:
"I see that your system is up to date with all the drivers and BIOS. This seems like a sensor issue. I suggest you claim warranty for the CPU using the below link."
I am at the latest update with both monitoring software and generally anything related to my PC - GPU, MOBO, CPU ETC. updating bios, changing to EXPO and other things did not help.
I don't know if i should just RMA my parts or just wait for the next bios update to hopefully fix it.
