Hi.

Still ironing out my ryzen 3950x build.
But one question I can not find answer internet.
What are safe temps for x570 chipset ? Mine under full aida64 stress test reaches 75c in 30min around 63-63c while gaming and 55c while idle.
I have 9 120mm fan in case 7 intake and 2 exhaust + 240mm AIO on CPU. GPU is under NZXT bracket and 120mm AIO reaching 61c max.

System Spec
Ryzen 3950x
X570 Taichi
32gb 3733mhz cl16-17-17-17
RTX 2080
1000W PSU

I tried to replace thermal paste instead of thermal pad but there is not enough connection with heat-sink to spread the thermal paste
 
Will it become solid once applied? Never seen thermal solution like that.

Just getting worries what will happen with chipset temps once next gen GPU will be inserted in PC.

No it does not become solid. I don't think the chipset temperatures will change dramatically even with the new GPU.

The chipset is unaffected by gpu since the gpu doesn't go thru the chipset.

Except that on many motherboards, the GPU sits right on top of the chipset heatsink, both blocking airflow and putting two sources of heat close together. On my X570 Aorus Ultra it's not an issue, but I'm sure that chipset temps are higher than they would be without my 2080 sitting on top of it.

I'm not sure if that is what the OP was referring to, since he mentioned "next gen GPU", but we have had reports that the 3000 series Nvidia cards will be a step up in terms of power consumption, and as a result, heat output.

If the cooler design is the same that Nvidia showed in their cooling performance video, then it won't really be a problem. The hot air isn't being blasted onto the chipset, unlike many current axial-fan coolers.

Of course, the chipset cooler is still being obstructed by the GPU, but even in boards that have very poor placement of the chipset fan (ASUS X570 TUF), it hasn't been an issue.

That doesn't change anything that didn't already exist. New gpus or not, it's not like fire hot gpus didn't exist before.
 
OP I think you need to stop screwing with your build before you create problems
Temps are fine.

Whoever posted about 3xxx gpus, did you catch the part where the OP runs 9x 120mm fans, cpu under an aio, and he’s got his gpu aio cooled under a kraken bracket?
Unless he’s crammed into a case like mine, I doubt his airflow into 2x aios will become over saturated with unmanageable heat.
If he is running a case that restricts 1080ti lengths, then buy a new case and the closed gpu pocket problem is gone.
...or go ghetto like I do and take off the panel and blow a fan directly onto components.
 
i'd find those temps hard to believe.. even my x570 with a vega 56 pulse blowing directly on the chipset with the fan turned off never exceeds 55C. it's possible what ever your using to read temps is pulling the cpu socket temp or VRM temp as the chipset temp but the only way i could see the chipset hitting those temps is in a hotbox with no fans. that being said the chipsets rated to 105C but has no protections, so even if it hits 105C it will not downclock the chipset or shut the system down, thus the reason for the fan.
 
So a little update on the whole situation.

Ordered Copper shim thermal pads and applied together with some thermal paste fixing the gap between heatsink and chipset.
Temps improved a lot from 73c under heavy load in warm day to 51c after 1hour in Aida64 Extreme.Around 35-45c when doing light tasks.
I have to admit I might have some weird type of OCD when it comes to my PC .I want everything to run as good as it can and as cool as it can. And yes ...sometimes I do mess up more than I resolve. That why always hope for people in hard forum member assistance.
I was using HWinfo64 for temperature readings.

If the temps were really bothering you throwing a little money at them certainly doesn’t hurt anything but as was mentioned above you weren’t anywhere near the thermal limit. PC components are a LOT more resilient to heat than folks end up realizing. The average user crams their crappy OEM box into a tiny space with no airflow and never cleans them. Those systems live for a decade + being abused like that.
 
Aida is not indicative of real world workloads.
I prefer basing my needs on actual useage and account for inclement ambient temps when they happen.
I would enjoy the build, get to know it's particulars, and adjust when needed.

100%. If I prime 95 my system on the stock Intel heatsink you’d think this thing is on the brink of thermal death at any moment. Literally any other workload and it never crosses 70* C.
