Question My AMD Ryzen 5 2600 has a idle temp of 80-90 celsius with stock cooler, is that normal?

[Dithiuss]

Hello!

I recently installed this CPU with its stock CPU cooler. The temps have been around 80-90 Celsius when i'm just sitting at the home screen or in the bios setup.
I reinstalled it thinking i did something wrong and i got the same result.

Is this what i should expect out of the stock cooler?

If i need to get a cooler upgrade, what would go best with my motherboard B450 TOMAHAWK (MS-7C02) (AM4)
and im using the Zalman Z9 plus mid tower case.

Edit: I noticed you mentioned it's bios temp, so forget the previous remarks. I have a 2600 running 33-35 Celsius at idle with a noctua NH-D15. However, these temperatures are high with a stock cooler nevertheless. I would suggest removing all thermal paste and reapply with a new layer.

Not sure what my BIOS is saying, but HWMonitor for my Ryzen 5 2600 with the stock cooler idles around 54°C

Bios temperatures are always higher for some reason, my 1800X is at 54C in the bios but 27C in windows.

Try reseting your bios by removing the CMOS battery for 1min with the pc unplugged from the wall. It will clear any previous oc settings.

If you have high budget get a Noctua D15 or a Cryorig R1. If not there is one like mine the Arctic Freezer 34 Duo for 45$.

Edit: Go with the Freezer as the two first are overkill for a Ryzen 2600.

54 Celsius is still a tad high I would expect temperatures around 45-50 Celsius with stock cooler at stock settings. It might be useful to update your bios to the abba version from the MSI website. Disabling Precision boost and core boost and enabling Relaxed EDC Throttling and AMD Cool 'n' Quiet in bios might drop your temperature and power usage as well.

Also make sure your minimum processor state is set to 5-20% in power mangement (control Panel Windows 10). Sorry if it might be called slightly different, I am not using an English Windows version atm.

A question or 2,
1) Do you need a cooler upgrade?
What is the intended purpose of the computer?

2) No offense intended, is this your first time installing a CPU and Heatsink? Certain steps can insure a successful result.
