Hey everyone! I just built my first gaming PC, and I'm using a Ryzen 5 9600X along with a 5070 Ti, a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 cooler, and the stock fans from the Phanteks Eclipse G400A case. I'm noticing that my CPU temp sits around 49-50°C when idle, but it can rise to 70-80°C under load. Is this temperature range typical? It feels a bit hot to me, but I'm not sure since I'm still getting the hang of this. Also, I noticed in Ryzen Master that it seems like my CPU temperature is capped at 80°C. Any advice?

Your temperatures sound pretty normal for that setup. The idle temps are reasonable, and it's common for Ryzen CPUs to get quite warm under load. Just keep an eye on it, especially if you're pushing your CPU hard in games or intensive tasks.
Thanks for the reassurance! I was worried I might have a cooling issue.
