CPU temperatures on X3D are typically within safe ranges, but monitor them for any unusual spikes.

I own a 5600 X3D paired with an ID-COOLING SE-224-XTS cooler. Reviews from Gamers Nexus and Hardware Canucks indicate solid performance, and during gameplay the temperature stays around 80°C. The thicker 3D v-cache seems to cause higher heat, but it’s within normal ranges for this setup. Just want to confirm it won’t overheat before your CPU overheats.
The idle temps are likely in the low 50s to mid 60s, depending on cooling. The paste seems applied properly—no residue and the block is secure.
That's typical. You might want to reposition the cooler and ensure the entire heat spreader is secured. Or consider applying a negative offset. Edit: Interpreted as full load 80C. In gaming, 80C can be a bit excessive according to @Naijin.
Current idle temperature is around 41°C (room temp 66°F) with minimal usage using Firefox and qBittorrent. I believe the cooler is positioned properly since I didn’t verify paste spread during installation, but please note no sticker is in place under the block—will remove it tomorrow to check paste. Under load, max clocks reach about 4.32 GHz and it draws roughly 99W (previously measured with Blender).
It looks like you're feeling a bit excited about the project. You might want to redo the mounting and try another adhesive. The X3D chips aren't particularly power-hungry.
It's typical for an affordable cooler, particularly. Yes, it's not exactly what you'd expect. You might consider undervolting using PBO2, which likely helped achieve higher temperatures than usual.
The paste appeared as expected after inspection. I visited MicroCenter and purchased a Thermal Grizzly PTM pad. Temperatures now remain stable at 77°C while playing Apex Legends in 1440p at full settings. It seems a higher-quality cooler would be beneficial if you aim for lower temperatures, since 77°C should still perform well.
