hhhmmm at that voltage it shouldn't be that hot. I'm not an expert though... could your cooler be improperly seated?
Would you mind sharing the current settings so I can assist better?
Could you let me know what settings you require?
You’ll need a higher-quality cooler, especially considering the ambient temperatures.
Here’s mine:

MSI B350m Mortar, (I had the same Gigabyte board you mentioned, disliked it and returned it), 16gb G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200mhz CL16, Ryzen R7 1700, sapphire RX480 Nitro+ 8gb.
What issues did you encounter with the Gigabyte board?
I didn’t install any RAM above 2133mhz at first, no LCL, it failed after two expensive RAM upgrades, VRMs overheated, XMP profile disappeared from the BIOS suddenly—what was wrong?
Despite loving Gigabyte before, they seemed to cut corners on this board. The build quality felt rushed. Two other users on this forum reported similar problems (two sets of RAM failed) with that model, and another person had issues with the K7 version, which is a costly Gigabyte product. I expected better.
I haven’t owned an MSI board since the AMD Athlon XP era, but I’m glad I got this one. The build quality is better, and I didn’t face any RAM overclocking or speed issues. It was also cheaper than the Gigabyte model. You can see all of this in the video I shared.
Once AMD released an update supporting 3600mhz RAM, I’m confident this MSI board will let my RAM reach those speeds with more relaxed timings.
Seanie280672 shared feedback with Ayushfunlover about overheating issues at a certain voltage. They suggested checking the cooler setup and asked for current settings to assist further. The user provided details about their MSI B350m Mortar build, including RAM, CPU, and cooling components, along with experiences from other forum members facing similar problems. They also mentioned concerns about returning the board and contacting support.

Another user shares their own experience with a similar problem on a Gigabyte board, including the model, issues faced, and what they learned from the video. The conversation also touches on return policies and shipping times.
Seanie280672 shared feedback with Ayushfunlover about voltage concerns and cooler seating. They suggested sharing current settings for better assistance and mentioned a specific cooler setup. They also provided a link to a video, shared their own MSI B350m Mortar build, and discussed issues they faced with Gigabyte boards, including overheating and RAM problems. The original poster expressed satisfaction with their purchase and noted improvements in build quality and performance.
Hey guys. I personally run the Ryzen at 3.65 GHz with stock voltage now and it runs great. I get like 40 degrees on Battlefield 1 Ultra. I also overclocked the card I've got the RX 470 MSI Gaming X 4 GB. Plus, I am using the AMD custom cooler that came with it (spire) and it honestly works fine and it's quiet. AMD did a great job on it

Hey everyone. I'm currently running the Ryzen at 3.65 GHz with stock voltage and it's performing well. I experience around 40 degrees on Battlefield 1 Ultra. I also overclocked my RX 470 MSI Gaming X 4 GB. Additionally, I'm using the AMD custom cooler (Spire) which is working fine and quiet. AMD did a great job with it.
Could you please run a stress test with cpuz Ant and let me know the temperature after 5/15/30 minutes? Thanks in advance.
Absolutely sure I just tested it for half an hour. The highest temperature reached was 62 degrees. Not too bad, right? But that was at full usage. I've run it before for 12 hours (using stock GHz) and it never went above 65 degrees Celsius. If you're into gaming, it's only around 30-40% usage max, which keeps it running smoothly. It really depends on your surroundings too. A hot room makes the CPU heat up more, but my place is cool enough and I'm using the Cooler Master Haf X 942 full tower case, which does a great job cooling. I'd give it a try at around 3.65 GHz.
It's great to hear about the stock performance. Here are some screenshots.
The system runs at 3.8Ghz with a clock speed of 3200Mhz and a voltage of 1.35v. I only used it for around 10 minutes, but I plan to extend the testing tomorrow. It seemed stable, so I’ll continue monitoring. My idle temperatures dropped by nearly 10°C compared to last time. The stock now runs between 25-30°C, whereas it was about 30-35°C previously. Keep in mind the computer is in a basement where the room temperature is around 20-21°C.
I should note that HWMonitor sometimes displays unusual readings, so I’m not sure if it’s fully calibrated for Ryzen. For instance, my fan speed can read as high as 25756! Lol! Once you restart the program, the stats usually correct. Another curious issue is the temperature difference between HWMonitor and Aida64, which can be 5-8°C. Anyone else noticing this?
Anyway... looking forward to more fun tomorrow!
I managed to reach 3.9Ghz at 1.375v with the H80i v2. Memory stayed around 2933Mhz during normal use. Running typical tests without issues, but under stress it lasted only about three minutes. I believe adding a few more tweaks could help stabilize it... possibly.
