Check Ryzen 5 3500X performance metrics.
You're asking if the temperatures you're seeing are normal for your Ryzen 5 3500X with a stock cooler. The reading of about 78°C after just 5 minutes in Prime95 is quite high and could indicate overheating. It's important to ensure your CPU stays within safe limits to avoid damage.
Execute it for half an hour and note the highest temperatures.
I was attempting the 30-minute benchmark, but after about ten minutes my temperatures rose to 87*, so I ended the test. I'm using Prime95, which is very demanding, but it's getting too hot, isn't it? I suspect the fan mounting might be the issue—I have no idea, since my regular load and idle temps are fine. I plan to download AIDA64 and run a stress test, but I doubt the stock cooler will cope.
