Z590 PCH temp

[Kol12]

I'm getting a PCH temp of 74-80C on the Asus Maximus XIII Hero motherboard. EC sensors reports PCH 60C. Does @Martin know anything about Z590 PCH temps? The BIOS reports the higher 74-80C temp...

HWiNFO64 v7.02-4430 has confusing & vastly different Nuvoton and ASUS EC readings for PCH temp from the ASUS Z590 Hero

Hello, According to an old thread, it seems the PCH temp reading from Nuvoton shouldn't exist anymore because it's incorrect: https://www.hwinfo.com/forum/threads/asus-ec-sensor-and-pch-temp.6157/ Right now in the latest version, it shows 81C for the PCH, whereas the ASUS EC reading shows 65C.

Hmm I guess the PCH runs rather hot on this board then.

 

[Martin]

Yup, seems so.

What is the Nuvoton reading you are referring to that shouldn't exist?
