Does this look right?

I've basically got everything running on defaults. This is when I've got a full load on the system doing Folding@Home because it maxes out the CPU. Is 85C a pretty safe place to be? I see its not reaching 4GHz when I keep F@H running. In games it reaches about 4.1GHz. I attached a screenshot from Far Cry 5.

I haven't touched anything really in my BIOS (Asus Prime X-570-P) outside of making sure my clock is set right, and my RAM is actually running at 3200 CAS16 like it's supposed to out of the box.

Mainly, I just want to make sure this computer's running as it should for the most part, and I'm wondering if I leave the computer running F@H for most of the day, would it screw anything up?

Everything Look to be good all long as you temps dont go to hight for to long 80-90^c

F@H Does use 100% but un like benchmarking it is not pushing it self to max just using all of avalable performance and you cpu/gpu can hanndle such loads

for me my cpu is at 100 % but F@H only uses 40 to 80 the othe core in the screenshot is gpu

I forget the exact boost table of AMD chips, but as you get warmer, you drop a bit of MHz every ~5c or so. So its likely in games your not getting as warm (not being used 100% of the time), and its able to boost a bit higher. But that is warm, but not "dangerous".
