I've a Gigabyte Aorus Master Rev 1.2 and I've noticed that the chipset is getting quite hot.
There are two readings in hwinfo for the temperature.
When gaming say red dead redemption 2 I get 75C on one and 90C on the other temperature reading. (I guess one is a sensor in the chipset die and another is just placed around it)
While my VRM temps get to around 62C.
I was reading that the board does use a thermal pad on the chipset instead of thermal paste.
Would you guys recommend swapping that out to proper thermal paste?
Also there are thermal pads on the back of the board too, should I upgrade those too maybe?
