Gentlemen:
Its not just the heat sink, consider also the heat sink fan? is it big
enough?
is it working properly, at full Speed? Also do you have case fans?
Again working properly?
Is the heat sink clogged with dirt and dust? Remember spring is here
and were getting warmer days. This could explain your problem!
Remember a 16 core processor put out a lot of heat. _BTW on some of these_
_multi-core devices require liquid cooling._ Check your manufacturer's
requirements.

Not to ask too stupid a question, but did you remember the thermal
grease? xsensors will tell you.
Not only did I remember it, but when ordering all the parts I ordered
an extra tube of it, even though the heat sink had a layer of goo
pre-applied on it. This came in handy when I had to remove it and
reinstall it a few times. Despite the fact that I was putting on at
least twice as much as the pre-applied layer, the extra tube has
enough for at least 6-8 "here-goes-nothing"s.
This is going to come down between the mobo and the CPU. So, which
one's more likely to be junk? My money's on the mobo. It's only a
question of the precise nature of the problem. Either it's plain junk,
or it has a difference of opinion with this particular 16-core Ryzen
3950X CPU model. Only time will tell. The replacement 4 core Ryzen 3
has been idling for two days now. I'll wait three weeks. It never
lasted longer than three without locking up.
Even if it stays up I'll get another mobo and plug the 3950X on it,
with the same hardware, and see what happens. I have a compatible MSI
board somewhere around here. I actually tried it first but couldn't
get it to work, and got this Gigabyte deal, but I'll give the MSI
another go, or get a third one. I'm very happy with the 16-core Ryzen
2950X in my older gear, and I have more confidence in the CPU,
especially seeing how unhelpful Gigabyte support turned out to be.
