[SOLVED] Is 38c to 48c degrees C too hot for idle?

[lillozzer68]

Its Probably fine but Thanks in advance

Ignore idle - make sure the cpu isn't burning up under load.
Ok, don't totally ignore it, but it just so irrelevant with these cpus... plus there's other variables like, room ambient, chassis ambient, fan setup, bios and power settings, blah, blah, blah...

There have been MANY 'high idle' threads like yours involving Ryzen 3000 - and recently Ryzen 5000; it's nothing new.
Check load thermals. If it's below 85C, then cool beans.

The cooler alone costs as much as a new R5-2600... 🙁 (I'd suspect even the factory cooler kept it at below 85C, so, look for 65C or lower temps at load...; run CPU-z/bench/stress CPU for 20 minutes, noting max package/core temps)
