I just build a machine with a AMD Ryzen 2700X and when using Prime95, the temperatures hit 85C. Even idle or normal usage, it can hit the 60s, which seems high to me.

1) Is it possible I installed the cooler wrong? 2) Do I need to change the CPU fan settings? 3) Are these temperatures a problem? No signs of throttling but I do want this machine to last me about 7 years so I don't want to put too much wear and tear on the CPU.
