For idle, it doesn't really matter for as long as the CPU is not under load, but I'd expect between 30-40 oC. 

 

For load, depending on frequency and the type of load/program that is running, anything under 75 oC should be great. 

 

These are temperatures that I find to be acceptable for any CPU and are based on my subjective opinion.

depends on your cooler, your case and airflow and ambient temps.

ryzen has quite high idle temps, so don't worry about those too much.

with the stock cooler, you might see temps reaching 85-90 under stress test and 75-80 under gaming and that's fine.

with a good air cooler or aio, you would usually be below 80 in stress tests and below 70 in gaming.

im speaking from experience, with around 18-22 degrees room temperature if my memory serves me.

 

R5 3600 Stock Cooler + 1 Front fan, IDLE:40-45C GAMING: 70-90 depending on workload

R5 3600 Stock cooler + 2 Front fan, IDLE: 40-45C GAMING: 70-85C Depending on workload

R5 3600 Stock Cooler + 2 Front Fan 1 Rear Fan, IDLE: 35-40C GAMING: 70-85C depending on workload

 

R5 3600 NOCTUA U9S + 2 Front Fan + 1 Rear Fan, IDLE: 30-35C GAMING: 50-60C Depending on workload.

 

There are also several other factors depending on fan orientation, your chassis, and your cooler, with most reputable coolers knocking the gaming performance down to around 50, and with an AIO or water cooling, even less.

 

Don't necessarily take my word for it. But if they're up at 90C for you, that's completely normal and an intentional design.

 

also check online for reviews of it.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

You are fine, but if you have a gpu, just fold with the gpu, without the cpu, as the cpu is not that effective at folding.
