So I got this pc and its been a while since I've been on pc gaming again, but i am trying to play halo infinite and while the game runs fine and smoothly on low settings the temp is around 80-90 while playing and the pc I got is

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G Processor • 6-core
3.9 GHz
RAM Memory: 8 GB
Thermal Solution (PIB) Wraith Stealth




and I'm wondering are those normal temps ? I do have plans to upgrade ram and better cooling fan but just would like some help on this
 
Solution
i kinda have a question and i don't know if this is for my case but i found this article about high temps, but i didn't see mine on the website so i was kinda at a loss for what kind of cooler that would work for my case or if its normal temps but this was the article i found. but as i do need more ram in later times i would still try to look for a cooler as well

That article pertains to all 5000 series processors and most likely in the context of stock coolers like yours or mid to low performance aftermarket coolers. It is saying that the processors can and will go into the 90C range and that it should only be concerning if...
Dont be scared to get your hands dirty. The backplate is a CPU heatsink support on the back of the motherboard. They are typically easy to remove.
im replying to this as i think im going to go with the

Noctua NH-L12S

and on amazon i found it, but while reading reviews i found this is there anyway by chance you would maybe be able to explain this one? like it just seems a bit worrying going this route. thought i would ask before going all in on it and buying

it says
"So I bought an HP Gaming PC with an AMD Ryzen CPU. I opened it up and the cooler looked weak and tiny. I ordered this Noctua cooler and proceeded to take the HP apart to remove the motherboard and install the new Noctua backplate. So it turns out that HP used the same backplate and same holes for their AM4 socket AMD PCs as they did for their Intel socket PCs, because when I tried to follow the AMD socket AM4 instructions, the AMD Noctua mounting brackets would not fit. Also the HP backplate and mounting holes could not be used at all, and I could not install the Noctua backplate over the HP backplate like it stated in the Noctua instructions. To top it all off, the HP backplate was GLUED to the back of the motherboard, so spent hours with a hair dryer on low, slowly and carefully pulling at each corner of the HP backplate, which finaly came off. Anyway, long story short, I ordered this Noctua cooler thinking it was going to be used solely for an AM4 socket CPU, but instead I had to use the Intel backplate and mounting hardware that Noctua THANKFULLY included also! I put it all back together and it runs cooler than ever. THANKS NOCTUA! No thanks HP lol. "

im not sure if im comfortable with that. but maybe someone i know might?
