I'm wondering if my Ryzen 5 7600X is running too hot while idle. Right now, it sits at about 51-52°C when I'm not doing much. I've tried various fixes, and while I can get the temp down somewhat during usage (it hits around 60°C with 45-50% load), I'm still concerned. Here are the temps I'm seeing:
- Idle: 50-52°C
- Under Load: 60-62°C
- At 100% Usage: 73-74°C
My room temperature is about 30°C as well. Should I consider changing my cooler?

If you're using the stock cooler, those temps are actually pretty good! Just remember that a better cooler might drop your temps further, but it seems like you're doing fine for now.
With your room temperature being 30°C, those temps make sense. You might want to try undervolting it if you're looking to lower your idle temps, but it can be a bit tricky to dial in.
Yeah, that's completely normal! Ryzen chips are known for idling a bit higher. No need to rush into a cooler upgrade just yet.
Those temps are still better than my setup. My idle is around 47-48°C, and even with a 360 AIO cooler, I hit mid-70s while gaming. AMD tends to run hotter, so you're definitely in a normal range. Don't stress until you notice problems overheating.
Those temperatures are pretty normal for your CPU, especially considering it's a Ryzen. My 7700X idles around 46-48°C and gets into the low 60s during gaming. As long as you're not hitting 95°C and throttling, you're definitely in a safe zone.
I've already tried undervolting, but the 7000 series is tricky and tends to hit close to 95°C.
