Question Is my pc underperforming?

[Phr0xy]

So I bought this pc from my friend about a week ago, and it works fine.

But when i go look at the temps of my cpu its always high. Its sits idle at 49-55. My friend and I tried alot of things to fix this and it still runs hot. It also runs at 3,7 - 3,95 ghz on idle. My fps in some games like fortnite isnt the same like the benchmarks on YouTube. Can anyone help?

My specs are:
Ryzen 5 2600
stock cooler
Radeon RX5700XT Sapphire Nitro +
Corsair vengeance 16gb 3200mhz
MSI Tomahawk MAX b450
600w EVGA w2

Thanks

(edit, my cpu also goes to 70-89 degrees celsius when gaming)

In adition to the thermal paste redo, have you personally done a full wipe and reinstall of the OS and all your other software?

That should be the very first action for any used system.
You have no idea what any of the previous users had in there.

Get a better CPU cooler. You say you're still using the stock cooler? Stock CPU coolers are a DISASTER. They're so bad, most decent cpus don't come with a cooler because they expect most people to know the need for a good one, lol.

It's on the "high end" price wise, but the Corsair H170i's are AWESOME coolers.
