I bought Ryzen 5 2600 and with stock cooler on idle I get 50 degrees.I change thermal paste and its again.On gaming (I played only Far cry 3 and Far cry 3 Blood dragon) and getting 92 degrees.What you think to do?I updated drivers,open left side panel and its again that high temperature.I have Rx 590 Fatboy and b450 aorus pro.
Do I need to update BIOS?
 
I built a system for my friend with the same mobo-cpu-cooler setup and i can confirm these temps are normal for such a system.
The wraith stealth it comes with is a bit underwhelming for the 2600.
I'd look into getting an aftermarket cooler to replace it, something like the Hyper 212 evo.

I'm using the wraith stealth with the 2600 and those temps are way too hot for stock settings. I idle in the low 30's/high20's. Peak temp after 4hrs uptime is only 52c with a slight overclock to 3.78ghz@1.25v.
