Quick question about cpu temperatures

So I build my first pc this weekend and I just have a question about the temperatures I'm seeing from my cpu. When I'm not using my computer and it is just standing on the desktop with nothing open the temperature will sit between 36 degrees and 47 degrees Celsius, occasionally jumping to the mid 50's or higher, and it is the same if I'm just surfing the internet with a couple of other programs open like discord, file explorer.

I haven't really tested the temperatures in games other than fired up skyrim special edition and played till the point where you customize your character and it seemed to stay stable in that time with the occasionally spikes to the mid 60's.

So my question is, does that sound like some reasonable temperatures or do they seem high? the cpu I'm using is a ryzen 5 3600, with a cooler master  hyper 212 cpu cooler.

Your temps look completely normal for your CPU.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
