I've got a Ryzen 7 7700 paired with a B840M motherboard and a Thermaltake PA 120 SE cooler. My CPU is sitting around 39-40°C at idle, but when I'm gaming, it shoots up to 78-85°C. Is that typical for this setup?

Totally agree, it's within the normal limits. The max operating temperature is 95°C, so you’re well below that. If you’re still concerned, maybe consider undervolting it; there are plenty of tutorials out there.
Yeah, that temperature range seems pretty normal for a Ryzen 7 7700. Those processors can get quite hot, especially under load. Just keep an eye on it, but you should be fine.
Actually, 78-85°C is kinda expected with your cooler. Just make sure your system isn't clogged with dust and that fans are working properly. Also, if you're on Windows, just know it tends to run a lot of background processes, which can heat things up.
That’s a pretty standard behavior for Ryzen 7000 series chips. If you want to keep temps down, consider undervolting without sacrificing stability; it can help reduce power usage too!
I have a B840 motherboard, so can I even undervolt it?
