jwkeller54, the only reliable Ryzen temperature reporter that I am aware of is Ryzen Master (RM). Do you have a way to run RM on Linux or can you boot W10 for a while? If so, please post a screenshot of RM - simply drag-n-drop the image to your reply. Please forget about the 27 C offset you have heard of. All Threadrippers have a maximum temperature of 68C as measured by tCtl. I know almost nothing about Linux, but am sure Threadripper will not allow the CPU to get as hot as you have written unless PROCHOT has been disabled. I do not recommend this. Thanks and enjoy, John.
