I have a 9800x3D processor. While people play games at 55 degrees, I am running around 55-60 degrees at idle. I use a 360 Asus cooler, I removed the gelatin, and the case fans are in good condition. Please help, could the processor be faulty?
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

While people play games at 55 degrees, I am running around 55-60 degrees at idle.
Probably an improper mount.

I use a 360 Asus cooler
Asus have a couple of AIO's under their portfolio, which one do you have?

I removed the gelatin
Gelatin? You mean thermal paste?
