Hey there, i have as above mentioned 5950x on Asrock x570 Extreme4 and my Temps on idle are 70c...

It is not something new im using it like that for a year now. but i have the issue that i cant use OBS and a game that is from 2008 cause the CPU Cant process it. It starts to studder in Obs. On top of that my temps are so high always.

I see people having the CPU on 30-50C idle with worse Cooling then i have.

this is my spec.

be quiet! Dark Base 700 RGB
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
NZXT Kraken X73 360mm
ASROCK X570 EXTREME4
32GB (2x16GB) GSkill DDR4 3600MHz Trident Z NEO
250GB Kingston A2000 M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVME (L 2000MB/s ; S 1000MB/s)
8GB MSI RTX3080 GAMING X TRIO
850W be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11

im not using the front cover nor the side glass on the PC case cause it just gets to hot.

i have 3 fans pulling in from inside air (Backside of the Cooling grill), two on the front of the case pushing in
1 on the top and back pushing air out. (i dont think they serve anything as case is nearly compleatly open..)

This is how it looks on idle on CPUID HW monitor

When i put my PC under stress the temps drop aswell i tried this in gaming i realised thatmy temps go instead up they go down so from idle 70 in gaming they drop to 50.
