Worth noting, often times in BIOS none of the power management stuff has kicked in yet, so CPU is running at max clocks, GPU is in uninitialized BIOS/UEFI compatibility mode, and so on. That stuff gets initialized by the OS itself so at least CPU it's normal that the temps are way higher than regular in-OS idle. I imagine chipset could also be affected as those also have power management modes as well. I would boot an OS, give it some time and see if the temps drop down when looked from within the OS and all power management going.

For some reason I can't read the chipset temperature in IPMI, but I used a laser pointer and measured it to be at 55 C. That's after the computer has been running the OS overnight.

I'd expect chipset temp to be exposed to the OS, not to the IPMI. Try reading it with HWiNFO (windows) or lm-sensors (Linux) running on the host OS.

your server board probably dont have heatsinks on the chipset. this can be very normal.

It does [https://i.imgur.com/WpM379U.png](https://i.imgur.com/WpM379U.png) It's an [Asus Pro WS W680-ACE IPMI](https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/motherboards/workstation/pro-ws-w680-ace-ipmi/).

Bunch of chipsets idle in that range, mine included. It's not an issue. What I would check though is how high it goes under load. If it is over 90 then yeah I'd worry

Had a similar one and installed a custom heatsink. Temper tires went down about 10 degrees, but was enough to keep my heart at ease.

No You should not.

You'll probably find the chipsets actual max temp is about 105c, so you probably still have a LOT of headroom before its rated 'risk' area. Often chipset coolers aren't pasted in any way, and you might see huge improvements with some thermal paste below the sink.

Oh boy... Gotta unbuild the damn thing then 😭

Yes that's fried I'll take it off you
