Help needed - 3700x & H150i pro XT

[BaileyJoness1]

I just built my new PC. I have a ryzen 3700x with a corsair H150i pro xt AIO cooler. Bios shows the CPU temps at 41°c on idle and pretty much stays at that.
NZXTcam shows the CPU temps spiking up and down constantly. Ranging from 59°c down to 40°c. It literally just goes up, down, up, down every second according to this software. Should I be concerned?Why do the two show completely different things?

Yep thats normal. I know it does seem odd.

@BaileyJoness1 under a full load like prime95 for half an hour, what temps does the 3700 sit at with that cooler ?

41c is really warm for idle. Is the ambient temp 30c or just bad air flow?

From my very recent research, that idle seems normal, these do tend to run hot. Hence my question about load temps.
I am investigating a system for a friend, but these temps are the thing that is dissuading me from using an AMD cpu.

Normal for Ryzen and nothing to worry about - it weirded me out and I didn’t like it at first. But I’ve got use to it.

They idle all over the place but if you got resonable airflow dont normally go over 70* during gaming
so no they dont run hot at all

70 gaming, is pretty hot to me ( I know their thermal ceilings are way above, but that is not the point).
I am used to seeing mid 40's gaming I'll only hit 70 running intelburntest (linpack) on extreme stress test.
