I recently built a PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800 8-core CPU and I've noticed that it idles around 50°C. I'm a bit paranoid about temperatures since high-end components can be quite expensive to replace. Is this idle temperature normal, or should I be worried about it?

Honestly, 50°C is okay for this CPU. If you're still concerned, improving your cooling setup or changing the fan curve could make a difference. Just keep an eye on those temps when gaming or under heavy load.
50°C isn't unusual for idle on the 5800 series; they do run a bit hot. But it’s worth checking your airflow in the case and ensuring your CPU cooler is adequate. If it spikes under load, that’s where you might want to look into better cooling solutions.
It's not a bad idle temp. Just make sure any background applications aren't causing the CPU to work harder than it should during idle times. Also, fresh thermal paste can sometimes help if it's a new build.
It's actually rated for up to 90°C, so 50°C while idling is completely acceptable. As long as you're not hitting those high temps under load, you're good to go!
Considering room temperature can affect idle temps, 50°C is fine if your ambient temp is high. Just keep an eye on it under load—if it goes over 90°C, then you should be concerned.
