I could not find this information elsewhere. I have a Z690 Hero Maximus Mobo. With default settings loaded in BIOS, UEFI reports that the chipset temperature is anywhere from 46 - 52 degrees celsius. That is within the UEFI BIOS setup monitoring screen. Can anyone else let me know what they're seeing for this temperature within BIOS with this motherboard?

You think that's bad here's my Z690 Gaming APCH Temp just reached 65c just loading WIndows up at boot, It's 0c here in the UK and the ambient is cool.
If I start gaming it reaches 73c I am not happy with this and may send it back for a different board, There's a reason why board makers started to add fans to the chipset on PCIE 4.0 AMD boards and it's this reason, What's the point in doing everything humanely possible to cool a CPU when onboard chips run this hot.
Hello, I am having the same issue. This is a ROG STRIX Z690-G GAMING WIFI and I'm not sure if this is normal or not.
I have SSDs in all 3 NVME slots and the GPU is coming above the chipset.
Hey i don't know how old this topic is,
but indeed the Nvme ssd's share lanes with Cpu and Gpu,
I have an Asus ROG X570-E and my Motherboard had an annoying small fan on a very little chipset cooler block.
i was annoyed by the fan ramping up every time... 😜 so i watched the Bauer (an german overclocker).
who had reported about the Am4 situation on the active chipset cooling and if its needed or not..
long story short: ,,I've bought an copper block +- on the dimensions that would fit the space behind the graphics card between the memory and a secondary Sata m2 epensionslot.
i've made some picutures last time i've have cleaned my pc a bit..
I have tie-wrapped the copper block in place with a thermal grizzly minus pad 8 in between the chip and copper.
my chipset did get much cooler from this mod. and lot quieter for sure.
it's not like between min 62 c and max 110 c anymore (while screaming high pitched fan kicks in),
more like between 50 and 75 depends on use and or how hot ambient temperatures in the room are.
running 71 c know while pc is on all day on hot ambient room so i won't be scared for the tempertures..

Hello,
Same problem here as well.
ASUS support was useless. "If you think something is wrong, return it"...instead of actually helping me with some problem solving or giving some answers.
- The chipset 70C+ while the rest of the system is cool. It's not an airflow-issue. I do however have 2x nvme installed, so it might be that putting some load on the PCH.
- The GPU is located above the chipset. GPU is 40 degrees, so it should actually be chilling the chipset which is 70+.
- Managed to get it down a few degrees by tweaking the BIOS.
My best guess atm:
- I think it might be poor thermal pads - anyone poppet the heatsink off and had a look?
- Additional BIOS-related load-reduction of the PCH as a temporary workaround.
