My new ryzen 5 3600 is having cpu temp flucations, and high idle temps. I reinstalled the cooler and I have the same result as last time. Going from 44 degrees celsius to 56 degrees Celsius is not normal, especially when am doing nothing but running windows. I think it is a bios issue, but I have a new bios that is compatible with the cpu. The bios tells me that my temps are around 23 degrees Celsius(which seems abnormal to me), but msi command center says it is way above that(44 to 56 degrees Celsius). Would it be ok for me to upgrade to the newest beta bios version for the motherboard? I have a MSI B350 PC mate. Any ideas or suggestions would really help.

First please post the full specifications for your PC with exact make and model of every component like this:
Motherboard (and your current BIOS version):
CPU:
GPU:
RAM:
PSU:
Case (and fan type and location):
Also what is the Max CPU temp when gaming, or under fairly heavy load ?

That will help us help you.

But for now my best guess is that you either need to adjust your CPU cooler fan profile so it keeps your CPU cooler or that you need to adjust (or add fans to) your case cooling.

I'm sure with a few adjustments your 3600 (with the stock cooler) can idle at slightly lower temps (mid to high 30's)

My 3700x (with a Scythe Ninja 5 cooler) on an Asus ROG Strix x470-F in a full tower case with excellent airflow idles ate 31-33c and jumps up to 35-37c when web browsing.
