100% 85-90c Ryzen 5 5600X

Hey guys so I just started up my build for the first time with no boot drive still waiting on my ssd. Curious to see if it’ll POST and Go to Bios I noticed that my cpu temps were 85 - 90c at 100%. Is this normal for no windows on it?

Nah, that's a bit toasty even for the stock cooler (Which I assume you're using?) Even though I do believe the 5600x is rated for temps up to 95c. My first suggestion would be to remount the heatsink cooler on the CPU. Might be a bad mount. I'd say normal temps around idle should be like 40-45c on stock cooler. Like 35-40c on an after market cooler/AIO. I'd wait for the SSD just to make sure and if the temps are still 85+, yeah, remount and check again.
