Ryzen 2600x thermal throttling on stock cooler

[maurino235]

I have recently installed my new motherboard which is a ROG Strix x470 with my ryzen 2600x in it. It seems like it hits 93c whenever I get into Windows. In the BIOS it shows i am getting 43C. I am pretty sure it is throttling because the pc is sluggish. Problem is i do not know what is wrong with it.

Did you apply new thermal paste when you switched it?

I would also check to see that the Cpu cooler fan is spinning and properly installed.

I did in fact apply new thermal paste, however it is noctua so i do trust it. Also the cpu fan is perfectly spinning

UPDATE: Apparently HwMonitor is using a sensor which is malfunctioning, as the cpu fan doesnt go above 1400Rpm and ryzen master shows 40C idle.
