Hey everyone! I recently got a new gaming PC and I'm noticing that the temperatures are hitting around 80-85°C. I'm really looking for pointers on how to bring these temperatures down—any advice or tips would be super helpful!

It sounds like you might need better cooling for your setup. Make sure your CPU cooler is mounted properly—if it's loose, you'll struggle to keep temperatures down. Consider upgrading to a larger cooler if possible, as that can really help. Also, adding more case fans could improve airflow!
Your CPU temps sound quite normal depending on the workload. The Ryzen 5 9600X can reach high temps when pushed hard. If it boosts to thermal limits, it will throttle back, which is a built-in safety feature. Just be cautious; if you're uncomfortable, a better cooler might help.
Yeah, definitely check the cooler's contact with the CPU. Sometimes, replacing the thermal paste can make a significant difference, too!
