Ryzen 7 5800X Temperatures

I've put together a new build today, Ryzen 5800X on a MSI B550 Tomahawk motherboard.

Temperatures have been pretty high, all I'm doing at the moment is downloading.

I was originally using a 2nd hand AIO my brother gave me, a Corsair H115i RGB platinum.
Thinking that there was something wrong with either the AIO or the way I installed it, I put in the cooler from my old build, a Alpenfohn Ben Nevis Advanced CPU Cooler - 130mm.

Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same kind of temperatures, maybe a few degrees cooler.

People mentioned using curve optimiser.
No idea what I was really doing, I followed this video.


I set all my cores to -20, but I'm still getting similar temperatures.

Can anyone tell me if these temperatures are normal, or help me get them under control.
 
O.k, i'm a bit confused by evertything. But I went into my BIOS, loaded optimised defaults and turned XMP on.

Got back into Windows and turned off any background crap, then did Cinebench and got a score of 14931 pts.

I used HWinfo this time.

Thanks for all the help.

I finally found the USB lead for my brothers AIO, but I'm completely out of thermal paste, so I've ordered myself some Grizzly which I should get next week.

I've got the case back together and the CPU at idle is bouncing between 35°C and 45°C

Now with curve optimising, do I wanna follow the guide I posted up at the top?

Precision Boost Overdrive --> Advanced
PBO Limits --> Disabled
Curve Optimizer --> All Cores
All Core Curve Optimizer Sign --> Negative
All Core Curve Optimize --> 20
 
So I had another little play, here's everything at stock.

Then here's doing what I said earlier.

Precision Boost Overdrive --> Advanced
PBO Limits --> Disabled
Curve Optimizer --> All Cores
All Core Curve Optimizer Sign --> Negative
All Core Curve Optimize --> 20

So it improved my score, but no change with the temperatures.

Thanks everyone for sharing their settings and suggestions, but I need an idiots guide on how to do these things. I have no idea how to access and change the things your saying.
 
See where is says "PBO Limits" Set that to manual, new options should appear, in it you will find PPT, it should be set at 142, set that at 120, or 110, or maybe even 100.

Thanks again for the help.

Here's 120W

and 110W

Looking much better temperature wise!

Slight drop in score when going down to 110W, is Cinebench consistant? Or is it down to the drop in wattage.

Either way, I'm much happier with the temperature.

Anything else I can try?
