Hi

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5900x
Aio - Corsair 360mm H150
Case - Lian Li O11 Dynamic with 6 extra fans.

This is the first time I am using AMD ecosystem. I changed my motherboard and processor yesterday.
Coming from an intel platform I thought temperatures will be lower. My i7 9700k idle
at 29-34 higest and while gaming its 60 max. However my AMD idle temperatures are sitting at 55-60 and even when opening a browser it shoots upto 70 and sometimes 81 degrees. This doesn't seem normal.

I tried repasting 4 times using Thermal Greasly Kryonaught and Artic MX but still its same.

I have a really good push/pull configuration.

Do I have a faulty processor or am I doiny something wrong.

Please advice.
 
Yes exactly my same question - after moving from intel these temperatures are alarming. Also the problem is that I have never done any OC or under volt. So I need to research a bit. I am someone who likes to buy something and just put it on my desktop so that it works.
If the temps are still like this maybe I will return it and get Intel i9 10850K. As I just play games, stream and sometimes code.

Also should I fresh install the windows? As I did not perform any reinstallation for Windows after changing the processor and motherboard
 
I do not have any RGB fans, but my Corsair RAM is RGB and Corsair iCue software is installed to control the lights on the ram and fan speed thats it. However, I will perform a full clean installation of the windows
