I also got a fan to blow onto the VRMs as well. During the last set of stability tests I did, the temps reached 88 C (that's how I found out when threadripper actually thermal throttles) and I had to take off the front panel and put a fan in front of the computer to cool it down by 6 C.

I actually recommend that people try to run their threadripper 68 C or below because that's want AMD says is max but I've done several weeks of stability testing with many tests that are done back to back leaving my 1950x on for 92+ hours for many times ( temperatures maxing out at 94 C tdie ) and I haven't seen any sign of CPU degradation although it may still happen later (hopefully not, I want my 1950x to last for at least 5 years). I hope someone here can replicate your workload to see what temps they get because those temps don't look right to me. Also, I'm using the same cooler as you (with 2 fans).


it looks very much like the temps I get when I'm stability testing my overclocking.but you're not overclocking. What is the ambient temperature? That kind of workload looks like Prime 95 (with avx) done with 24 C ambient tempt with an overclocked threadripper i.e.
