I did some more research. Some hardware monitoring softwares polled idle cores. Also, some softwares like like HW Monitor may apparently only report the last known temperature of the cpu core, so they weren't very accurate. All this only applies to the latest Ryzen 3000 generation/series so may also apply to other future Ryzen CPU's Ryzen Master is a software that is made by amd, which gives me an accurate reading as far as I'm aware, because they're not polling or showing the showing the last temperature of idle cores. My temperature now is idling at a good temperature now using this software, but still fluctuates between 44°C and 46°C. This is apparently common with the Ryzen 3000 gen/series though

yeah

When comparing my setup to multiple other setups with ryzen chips, no temperatures had an aggressive range like that. I didn't know that ryzen have aggressive clock management, but with a good water cooler, the temperatures shouldn't range that high on idle. When compared to similar setups, it the CPU never got that hot on idle and the temperatures never fluctuated like that

At idle right now, my clock speed on my CPU is 4.2Ghz. and my temperature keeps fluctuating between 49°C and 69°C. I jut bought all the parts to my computer of on the 27th April (Apart from the graphics card) and build it Sunday the 3rd may, so the build is brand new. Is there any cause for this
