Hello, I recently put together my new pc build which is running a ryzen 5 2600 using its stock cooler it came with. (I will list all parts if required) After installing windows 10 I then installed temp reading software and the cpu temp is at 83 while idle so I shut it down straight away. So I removed everything, applied new thermal paste to the cpu put it all back together and it still shows me 83 temp. Note I have not yet done anything in the bios. I am unsure of what to do while it remains at this heat straight away on startup.

Thank you.

Is the fan, on the heatsink working properly? Did you make sure to remove the plastic cover, from the bottom of the heatsink. (Common mistake)

Yes the plastic was removed. I also re applied thermal paste to the bottom of the fan and made sure nothing was on that or the cpu. The fan is spinning perfectly.
