Hey everyone! I just built a new PC with a Ryzen 9 9950x3d processor and a Corsair Nautilus 360mm AIO cooler. After getting it to post to the BIOS, I noticed that the CPU temperature is sitting between 45-50 degrees Celsius. Is this temperature range normal? All my fans and the AIO pump are functioning, but I'm hesitant to install an operating system until I'm sure the cooling is adequate. Any insights would be appreciated, thanks!

You're totally within the normal range! For a Ryzen 9 9950x3d, 45-50°C is fine. You'll usually see slightly higher temps in BIOS compared to Windows. As long as your load temps are managed well, you shouldn’t worry about this.
Absolutely normal! I have a 7800x3d that runs around 42°C in BIOS, and it peaks at 45°C in HW monitor. I've noticed BIOS temperatures can vary quite a bit depending on your motherboard. Don't overthink it! Just make sure your load temps stay in check, and you should be good to go!
Thanks so much for your insight! I feel better about going ahead and installing the OS now. I should mention it’s pretty warm here at about 88°F, so I’m sure that’s affecting the temps too.
Sounds like your setup is fine! Just check if you’ve removed the plastic cover from the water block and ensure the pump’s running at full speed. What’s the RPM showing?
Yes, I took off the plastic. The pump’s RPM is over 3100, all my fans are running, but the CPU core temp still sits around 45°C. I've seen some people report temps around 20-30°C with this AIO on the same CPU, so I’m a bit puzzled.
With this reassurance, I'm marking this post as solved. Thanks a lot for your help!
