OK so I made my own computer and need help getting things runing smoothly
I guess they've got a Ryzen 7 5800x as they specified AMD. That's a pretty powerful CPU.
I've been running old tech for a while too, I was also surprised to see that CPU temperatures really get quite high nowadays. 60C or 70C under load is no longer need for alarm. If you're at 50~, you're fine, though you should start thinking about improving cooling if you see it getting higher than that. What sort of cooling do you have for your CPU?
Dari's explanation of fan curves is quite good: if you have proper cooling, it's not rare to see your idle temps higher than your load temps. CPUs are pretty resistant to heat nowadays.
This probably isn't an issue with Windows 11, just an experience of jumping straight into modern day desktops. Think of it like a car - if you jump ahead 20 years, you'll see a lot of higher numbers, but those are just average performance.
