My brother in Christ. Get you an AIO water cooler. My 5900X was running at 95C till I got one 🤪
I do have one, a 360mm one. With crazy thermal paste. Then again, it doesn't get all the way to 95°C anymore, only when I compile something.
My Ryzen 3700X gets warmer than I'd like it to do, despite living under a beefy custom waterloop. It has to do with the heat transfer from the dies to the heat spreader and the thermal density of the little chiplets. I assume it's just the same with the more recent generations, you just cannot cool them like you used to with the old school monolithic designs.
