I just recently made a new pc with a Ryzen 3 2200g. When it is idle the cpu has temps of around 60C. When gaming it reaches temps of around 85C. I am worried that i might have not applied enough thermal paste, causing such a high temp. My case has one corsair fan and i have not done a lot of cable managment. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you are ONLY using the integrated graphics and do not have a discreet card installed, fine, you COULD get away with just a rear exhaust fan. If you have ANY discreet card considered entry level for gaming or higher, then yes, you NEED to have at least two fans installed, otherwise you are going to starve the cooler on the GPU card from having the fresh air it needs AND you are going to be using the rising hot air from the GPU card to cool your CPU with. Not a good configuration.

"Your testing" leaves a bad taste in mouth and I'd like to see graphical representations of "your testing" along with some empirical evidence (Of which there will be none) showing that your claims are accurate if you're going to make statements like that...
