normal temperature for your CPU

Those indeed are normal and typical of Ryzen 5000 CPU's and actually the boost algorithm pretty much targets those temps. But that doesn't mean better cooler won't help improve performance even if you might very well end up with similar temperatures. But any improvement depends on what cooling you're using now, of course.
