I have always been an Intel fan boy when building pc systems but I made a short break after selling my 12700k setup to go over to a Mac which I hated. I now have built myself another pc system using:-

Msi b850 tomahawk
9700x
Artic freezer 36
Liam li 217 case
Corsair 6000mhz cl30 32gb
Wd 2tb nvme gen5
Pallit GeForce 5070
Corsair rmx850

My 12700k with air cooler always idled around 35c but for the life of me cannot get this amd chip below 45c on idle with pbo enabled it jumps well over 80c just using cpuz benchmark.
I have tried different methods with -20 on all cores which helped a little but not idle temps. Only way to stop the high temps is to disable pbo, I am sure on my 12700k I just left most things on auto in the bios and was great and gave a higher cpu multi score than this 9700x.
Is this cooler which I have fitted correctly not a good choice for this cpu or is there other settings I should be making within the bios?

Those temps are normal, it takes a while to get used to especially coming from older Intel setups.
Ryzen are always hot chips. Those idle temps are fine. Okay cheers, just stressing for no reason then.

Okay then that is good to hear, I'll start to use the system now after messing with settings in bios for last 2 days with no success.

With my 7800X3D I set thermal limit in BIOS to 65c and it still boosts to 5050Mhz and temps top out at around 68c under full load. Also check what the SoC voltage is at in something like HWiNFO64, MSI seems to use 1.3v while most other brands are at 1.2v-1.25v. On my MSI MAG Tomahawk X670E I have set SoC Override in BIOS to 1.15v and the system runs cooler than Auto but in this weather its still idling around 40c+ under a 360mm AIO. Was around 38c idle before the weather warmed up and that was under my old 240mm AIO.
