I've got a Ryzen 5 5600 using the stock cooler, and I'm seeing it hit 68 degrees Celsius when it's just sitting idle. Is this temperature normal? I have my case fans set to operate at 50% capacity.

That’s pretty high for idle. If it stays stable under load, that's a good sign, but 68 degrees at rest might suggest some airflow issues or that the cooler isn’t cutting it.
68 degrees is definitely warm for an idle state. However, if your temps are stable during heavy use or gaming, it might not be too big of a deal. Just keep an eye on it!
I just played Rocket League at 1920x1080 on max settings and it jumped between 70 to 85 degrees. Seems like it's handling it okay under load.
I just ran a benchmark test and the CPU hit 95 degrees for a while. That’s concerning!
