Ryzen 7 3700x super high temps under iddle 55-60ºC. load/stress tests 95ºC

High everyone, I've built my first pc and noticed the temps are super high, I'm kind of desperate at the moment and was hoping someone could help me out with this.

Specs: 

Processor: Ryzen 7 3700x

Motherboard: Asus Rog Strix B550-F

Cooler: Stock Wraith Prism

Thermal compound: Arctic MX-4

Power Management Plan: AMD Ryzen Balanced

Right now, without even doing any stressfull task (Only Chrome and writing this down), I'm getting between 55 - 75ºC with no activity so ever.  I have reapplied the thermal compound but no changes so far. Also tried to do some undervolting through some guides I found out there and even though the temps varies, they dont vary that much, still around 50-60 at idle and cpu package 95ºC at load with stress tests), and I still ain't sure that'd be a proper fix.

Tried a trick I found around to set the MAX Proccessor speed to 99% instead of 100 and the heat lowers a bit (Not enough I think) but I don't know if there is another fix I could get without this kind of tricks.

I'm doing stress tests with OCCT, taking into account temps from OCCT itself, Ryzen Master and HWInfo64. They seem to vary but kind of the same.

Before test:

Temps-1

During test:

Temps-2

After test:

Temps-3

Should I return this unit and get a replacement?

Any help greatly appreciated.
