I recently built a small form factor PC using a Hyte Revolt 3 case, equipped with a Ryzen 9 7900X. Ever since I powered it on, I've noticed that my CPU is idling between 60 to 75 degrees Celsius, which seems really high. I discovered that the clock speed is consistently close to its maximum, even when I'm not doing much. I tried using NZXT CAM for monitoring, but it only shows one metric rather than an average that might help. Some forums suggested lowering the minimum processor state to 5%, but that didn't help at all. I'm really tired of my fans running at full speed and would appreciate any advice on how to cool this beast down! Happy to share more details if needed.

It sounds like your cooler might not be performing optimally. Make sure you installed the CPU cooler correctly and removed any plastic covers. What are your full specs? That might help in diagnosing the issue further.
I had a similar issue, but my CPU actually hit 110C before it shut down. It was super frustrating. After removing the case cover for better airflow and checking my cooler installation, things improved. I suggest checking your cooler setup thoroughly.
