Question Just a check up if these temps are normal for R5 7600?

I know AMD cpu's and certainly the 7000 series run hot, but I was just wondering, when I should start worrying.
I've observed my cpu from the start and in idle everything is fine. At the start it starts to spike around 63 degrees, then it goes back to the stable 45 degrees.

Warframe: Now only today, I saw a spike which was the highest it has ever been. 80 degrees. And it was when I was gaming, jumping from loading screen to loading screen. It went up to 80 degrees, and stayed there for couple of seconds, and then backed down to 50 degrees. This isn't so heavy CPU bound.

PBO is disabled. It's a waste of energy for me atm. I play at 1080p and the games aren't even heavy. I'll put it on when I need to. Could set it to auto but don't know if that would lower the temps as well then...

CPUfancurves have been manually adjusted: 30 degrees/35%, 40 degrees/50%, 60 degrees/70% and 80 degrees/100%

Now I read everywhere that amd cpu's can get hot, but just to be sure, spikes of 80-85 degrees was still normal right? As long as it doesn't stay there, right?
Specs:
MSI Tomahawk b650, Ryzen5 7600 non x, Corsair vengeance 32gb DDR5 6000mhz CL30 expo, kingston KC3000 1tb, XFX RX590 (should be a 7700xt soon), fractal design meshify 2, psu: corsair rmx 750w, LG 1080p144hz1ms 24inch display
 
You do know AMD came out and said the Ryzen 7000 series can run at 95C all day and it won't hurt it, so you have nothing to worry about. I've got a AIO water cooler on my 7600x and even then it use to spike to 95C with a second under an all core benchmark....I curve optimized the voltage and now it peaks at 80C. The point being, getting hot instantly is normal behavior, partly because the default voltage curve is set too high, which you can do something about if it bothers you.

That's the thing, I only set the PBO to disabled and set a curve for the fans.
But if it's fine then it's fine, so thanks for saying. I'm not so advanced with overclocking so I don't overclock at all. But if pbo setting to auto helps, I'll do it. I would rather undervolt but that's not possible I think with 7600 non x, or atleast it doesn't help much.
Got these if it helps:

You'll probably won't find anything but just informative :) Anyway thanks for the help!

Your temperatures look good, the highest I see is a peak of 83.8C, which is fine.

I would turn PBO on as it's free performance, your CPU will not let itself get hot enough to do any harm, so you don't need to worry about it. If you're mostly gaming, the CPU never runs all cores at 100%, so it will run cooler, but you do want the cores that are doing the work to be as fast as possible.

I know its restricted to 65W but will I see some movement on my electrical bill if I turn on pbo? I don't think it will. Just asking to be sure...
 
It might draw an extra 10w while you're actually using it's full performance, so 100 hours of work for an extra unit of electricity.
Ok thanks for this all.
Do you know something about how to use an amd graphics card this way? Like should I only turn down the power limit slider? Would it make the graphics card unstable? Or should I immediately start undervolting it completely? (7700xt sapphire pulse @1080p144hz) I heard changing the voltage doesn't do much about the power bill but power limit did I thought and so does the coreclockspeed, but if I tune that down, I might need to undervolt as well since the card might get unstable.

Sorry for bothering you this way, but I need to be smart about this cause powerbills over here are expensive.

Yes, undervolt the GPU. AMD sets the default voltage too high on both CPUs and GPUs, at least the GPU is much easier to change, move the voltage slider down and run a benchmark. If it crashes, turn it up a bit, if it doesn't crash you could turn it down until it does crash and then increase it a bit until it's stable.
