Yesterday I uploaded my CPU cooler (Noctua l9a, Noctua paste) and the temperatures were around 45-50°C during idle. Now when I restart my PC, idle temps are consistently 60°C and above. I haven’t adjusted any power settings and the issue has worsened. Anyone have suggestions or solutions? My motherboard is X570, AORUS PRO WIFI with the latest BIOS, and everything else seems up to date. I’ve attached a screenshot of my Ryzen master settings.

When temperatures are typical, skip the concern. Stoppages are rarely important. I keep idling around 60 mph even on an 8th gen i7.

Have you noticed any shifts in temperatures when the system was under stress?

It's mainly because of Ryzens' voltage settings. The stock idle voltage is too high, causing significant CPU heating. You should adjust it via BIOS or Ryzen Master. Right now my 3700X runs at 1.175V 4GHz.

Idle times don't count because they can change a lot even when background tasks are light. The actual load temperatures are important, especially since your cooler isn't powerful enough—you should definitely try a low static overclock.
