AMD Ryzen 5 5600x running at high temps

[lord_coconut]

My CPU has started to run at high temps 90+c in tf2 and 60 in bios, so far I have tried to update my bios to the newest version, tinkering in bios and installing windows and appropriate drivers but none of that didn't seem to fix it

 

I have been thinking to buy some new thermal paste to see if that helps, but I want to wait a bit to see if someone finds a solution

 

specs:

OS: Arch

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x

GPU: Asus TUF GeForce RTX 3070

RAM: Tforce 8x2GB DDR4-3200

Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M S2H

SSD: INTEL SSDPEKNW010T9 (1TB nvme)

Cooler: NZXT Kraken M22

Reinstall your cooler, something isn't right there.

have you checked everything is installed the right way, Fan is installed the right way. no air bubbles in the wrong position?

For a 5600X the M22 should be good, and never have 60C in BIOS !! Either it's badly installed or it doesn't work
