CPU temps too high

[BlackBate]

Sorry if this has been asked a million times, I'm new on this forum. 

 

So I replaced my R5 3600 stock cooler with the Cryorig M9 plus and expected my temps to be better, but they barely changed, if at all. At completely idle I don't see temps under 45°, usually 50° and under load it hits up to 87°.

Could this be a software issue? I know that those temps shouldn't damage it, but it doesn't feel right...

What case do you have?

The Aerocool Shard Tempered Glass

 

Edit: I have 2 static pressure fans on the front so that shouldn't be too bad I think for airflow.

Remove the TG and if the temps drops, the problem is with the airflow. You can also try with the TG on but remove the front panel so the fans in the front isn't restricted.

 

But your temps under load are perfectly fine.

 

EDIT: There is always going to be a difference with open or closed case, but if it more than a few degrees then there is airflow restrictions or components that produce more heat than the case is designed for to handle.

Yeah, they're high static pressure fans, not magical fans. That case has no airflow.

While under Prime95s torture test, the temps got up to 94° and removing the side panel brought it down by 4°, to 90°. Also I noticed that the air coming out of my cpu cooler wasn't very hot, or very warm, despite my cpu temps being more than enough to make tea. Could it have something to do with mounting pressure or the thermal paste that I used? Or are those temps normal too?
