Yes, 55°C to 65°C works well as an idle temperature for a Ryzen 5 2600X on OpenAir.

I just assembled my initial computer and everything proceeded fairly smoothly. I installed Windows and started using OpenHardwareMonitor to track those extremely high CPU temperatures. They were much higher than the 30-40°C I experienced on my previous Intel i5-2500 model. I didn’t overclock the processor. Edit: the core frequencies also vary a lot, jumping from around 2000MHz to about 4000MHz and then back down.
You recently applied the pre-applied thermal paste on your stock R5 2600X cooler.
It looks like you're checking the performance metrics. The actual readings during high demand are what you need to confirm.
I haven't tried anything yet. I'm currently downloading a game to check it out.
For accurate Ryzen temperature monitoring, use hwinfo64 or Ryzen Master. Regarding idle temperatures, they're acceptable, but load temperatures are more important.
I run at a steady 60. Monitor the load temp via OCCT. For stress testing, aim for temps between 85-90 to pass. Consider HWiNFO or Ryzen Master; OpenHWMonitor isn't reliable.
The Ryzen 3000 shows unusual idle performance under normal conditions. It often gets hot even when idle, and according to others, the load temperatures matter too—especially if you adjust the voltage settings for the processor. Idle temperatures drop significantly in certain scenarios.
