I've noticed that my Ryzen 9 9950X CPU temperatures hover around 55-60°C when I'm downloading files or just browsing the internet on Chrome. Is this temperature range considered normal, or should I be worried? I'm using a 360mm AIO cooler with it.

Average temps for the Ryzen series are typically around 40-45°C while idling. I usually see around 55°C during light gaming sessions. Your cooler seems to be doing its job if you’re staying around 60°C or less.
Here’s a quick rule of thumb: If your temperatures are consistently below 95°C, you’re fine. So if it’s revolving around 60°C, no need to stress! Your setup sounds solid.
Those temps are totally normal and safe for your CPU. The Ryzen 9 9950X can handle those temperatures without any issues, even running at those levels for long periods. Just keep an eye on it — if it ever hits over 90°C, then you might have something to worry about, as that would mean it’s overheating.
Yes, your CPU isn’t overheating, so you’re good! 55-60°C is expected during regular tasks. Just to give you a perspective, my Ryzen 9 usually sits around 45°C at idle, but it can go up to 60-65°C when gaming. You’re in the clear unless those temps start creeping closer to 90°C.
