Hey everyone, I've got a Ryzen 5 5600X paired with an ARCTIC Freezer 36 A-RGB cooler. I'm noticing my idle temperatures hover around 43-46°C, and when I'm gaming, they reach 55-65°C. Is this considered normal, especially with such a good cooler?

Honestly, your temperatures are pretty low overall. Unless you start seeing 85°C or higher, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. If they creep up to 90°C, then that's when you might want to investigate something being off.
Your temps sound fine! 65°C during gaming is well within safe limits, and CPUs can usually handle temps up to around 90°C before they start throttling to protect themselves. So no worries there!
True! But what about the idle temps? Aren't they a bit high?
Yeah, those temps seem typical for AMD processors. You should be good! Just keep an eye on them, but they sound pretty standard.
Awesome! Thanks for the reassurance!
I appreciate that! Glad to know I'm in the safe zone.
