CPU too hot or normal?

Hello guys, not sure if my PC temps are normal or if something’s wrong with my cooling setup.

I’m using a Ryzen 7 5700X, and when I play Helldivers 2 or other AAA games, my CPU temps usually go into the low to mid 80s °C. I recently upgraded from a Cooler Master air cooler to a Thermalright Peerless Assassin, so I expected lower temps.

Another thing I noticed is that when I first boot up my PC, the CPU sits around 60°C for the first 5–10 minutes before dropping down to around 40–50°C idle.

Current setup:

  • Ryzen 7 5700X
  • RTX 5060 8GB
  • MSI B550M
  • Thermalright Peerless Assassin
  • Cooler Master MWE Gold 750W

Are these temps normal for the 5700X?

PS. I also did some reapplication of thermal paste.
