My specs are
1. AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
2. Asus EX A320 gaming motherboard
3. G.skill Ripjaws V 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4 3000MHz Desktop RAM (F4-3000C15S-8GVRB)
4. Zotac Geforce GTX 1050Ti
6. Seagate barrcuda 1TB HDD
7. Corsair 550W psu
So I did a BIOS update to the latest released version after which i experiencing unexpected raise in CPU temp even without playing any games(i have not even installed game in the first place due to new HDD) , mostly i am just browsing using Firefox and seeing videos , i don't think browsing is a heavy demanding application like gaming and i expect the temp to be below 42 or 43 but CPU temp reached till 56 C which is totally unusual for just running browse. So please help me out, i don't know whether this hike in temperature is due to BIOS update.
Also my ram speed is 3000MHz where as my motherboard supports only 2400MHz, but initially i found in task manager my RAM speed was set to default 2133MHz so i went into BIOS settings to assign it to its maximum speed which is 3000MHz as advertised but since my motherboard advertised speed is just 2400MHz so i assigned 2400MHz to my RAM, may be this caused overheating of the CPU but i not sure.

Depends on the CPU/APU being tested and the type of CPU Cooler you have installed. But as long as it didn't go above more than 94.5c (found out this the temperature where the APU starts to throttle) and stayed at that temperature, it seems to be fine. That is way below the Max temperature of 105c and from being throttled by the APU.
Remember your APU was running at 100% load all the time which doesn't occur in usual computer use like browsing or watching videos, etc. Even while gaming, I don't believe the APU will be running at 100% load constantly. As the load goes down so does the temperature.
If you are concern about the APU temperature, If your computer case has the room, try installing a 3rd party CPU Cooler like Cooler Master Hybrid 212 EVO which is inexpensive and one of the best air CPU coolers in the market.
The best cooling is Water cooling. But they tend to be expensive plus you need room to install the Radiator in your computer case.
Here is a very good review by Tom's Hardware that used Prime95 and other software to stress Ryzen 2200g APUs. It seems to have similar temps as you had running Prime95: Combined Stress Testing: Benchmarks & Results - AMD Raven Ridge Thermal/Power Analysis: Ryzen CPUs W...

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
After ~6 minutes, AMD’s Ryzen 3 2200G hits 95°C. That's well above its thermal limit. And the result doesn't change, even when we push the fan to its fastest rotational speed. With that said, the processor doesn't falter; it keeps going, albeit at an uncomfortably high temperature.
The hottest voltage converters toe the 80°C mark. Average power consumption is close to 88W, while peak power use falls just shy of the 100W threshold.
Plotting frequency over time shows us that the Zen cores slow down slightly once the processor exceeds 94.5W. However, Ryzen does balance this demanding workload well; the missing 100 MHz toward the end of our test is no big deal, particularly since Radeon Vega Graphics isn't affected at all.
In the end, AMD's stock cooler passes our test in a photo finish, with the Zen cores dialing back just a touch.
So your Ryzen Temperatures using Prime95 are normal for that software and Stock CPU Cooler.
it is increasing more please help me out
amdbasbab, please DL the latest Ryzen Master (RM). RM is the AMD reference for CPU temperature and other, especially free apps, are suspect. Please run RM and post a screenshot here. Here are the 2200G specifications:
The limit (as shown by RM) is 105C, so I suspect you are fine - more than 50C headroom. Enjoy, John.
here is the screen shot
I just now tested with Prime95 the temperature which i noticed are seriously high and scary it reached 90C. Please share your thoughts and give me your precise advice on what should i do on this.
The moment i open Prime95 and selected smallFFT the temp in HWMonitor went upto 80 and then every 2 seconds it kept increasing, when it reached 90 i stopped and closed Prime95, the temperature hiked just in very few seconds, i tested it hardly for 45 seconds. please tell me whether this temperature readings are normal for running Prime95(with smallFFT option) are these are too high.
Thank you for the suggestion, i downloaded and ran a test on OCCT, the test was conducted for 10min 10 sec and the max temp attained was 89, actually CP reached the max temp (88.5) with some 4-5 min of the test, but after that it didn't go beyond.
is it normal to get a temp of 88-89 in occt or too high?
