I think my cpu it too hot especially when it’s idle.

I have a Ryzen 5 2600x and at idle it gets like 79-90+ degrees and goes over 100 degrees on games. I am not sure why could anyone help.

FAR too hot.
Check the cooler is fully locked down, the locking lever feels flimsy but it does the job well enough, it's fully locked when the lever is parallel with the motherboard surface.

Definitely installed incorrectly. Waaaaay too hot.

I bought it in a bundle with the motherboard, CPU with cooler and everything and ram should I double check it it came loose or something?

 

[Supahos]

The cooler isn't installed correctly start there

 

[luke7345]

I don’t see any levers or anything on or around the cpu just screws.

 

[Supahos]

It's either loose or the fan isn't on.

 

[luke7345]

Do I tighten it?

 

[Supahos]

Can you wiggle it at all? Can you confirm the fan spins when you power it on?

 

[luke7345]

The fan does spin and I’m not sure if I can wiggle it right now
