I booted up and after 10 minutes of browsing the web and playing WoW my chipset temperature is 55 celsius! So I replaced it with Arctic 1.5mm thermal pad which is not squishy at all, is very low residue, and has a fairly high W/mK rating while being affordable. The pad itself was not maintaining contact to the center of the X570 chip at all! ![]() Over time (a few weeks after manufacturing probably), the thermal pads lost contact with the X570 chip! When I took my pads off, there was just a thick layer of pad residue touching the surface of the chip, as well as the shape of the chip engraved into the pad. What's happening is that the pads have a crazy amount of residue on them, and they compress really easily, maintaining their form once compressed. It turns out that the thermal padding that ASUS is using is absolutely awful. ![]() I saw there were many people with different X570 boards that had only 60c temperatures where as I was always at 72+c, so I did some investigating.
