Temperature 3950x questions

I have installed my 3950x in a new rig (corsair 500d rgb platinium, 850w, h115i, mp600 2tb, 3 fans corsair ll120 front 120mm, one fan be quiet back 120 and the 2 fans ll140  from h115i on the top, rtx 2080 ti, 32 gb ram 3600mhz cl 16). 

My pbo is off and the offset cpu is -0.05v (everything else is by default auto, except the memory settings). Everything works, no bsod, no freeze..I can work and play.except...

I must open 2-3 times (average) to get ryzen master (else i have a message it's unable to initialize...).

My idle is less than 41 degree after 2  hours utilization... When I boot it's between 37 degrees-  peak 53 degrees (average 39). the speed max is 4480mhz (no 4700 mhz)

cinbench max temp 63 degrees (after 5 tests done one after one), score only 9100, cpu single 505 (58 degrees).

After 2 hours gaming it's 61 degrees (with some peak at 68 degrees during 2-3 seconds)..

My ssd Mp600 is at 63 degrees max after 2 hours gaming (hwiinfo)

the cpu and ssd mp600 seems too hot. the rtx 2080 ti is at 74 degrees.

I have mx4 paste thermal (X application on cpu) (I have done it two times -> same behavoir).

Is it normal temperature, normal boost freq? how to get lower value-> change thermal paste mx4 to Kryonaut, ?

thanks

Your temperatures are absolutely fine.

I would try enabling PBO in the BIOS to get the CPU to boost further and also make sure you have the latest BIOS version installed.

Your negative voltage offset will also impact your performance slightly so will have an adverse effect on maximum CPU speed.
