I am having CPU cooling issues and don't know what to do!
  • Your CPU is likely fine.

    In your screenshot, we can see that the CPU utilization is at around 10%, this is means that you have the equivalent of one full core usage during that screenshot (and, in fact, we can see that around 3 cores are at their "all cores" maximum frequency).

    As a reference point, idle equals:

    • low to no CPU usage (2-3% maximum usage)
    • No program running in the foreground. If one is, it shouldn't have frequent updates (Your corsair whatever is a no go)
    • Background running software should be lightweight, so no corsair RGB software running in the background as it is known to wake CPUs quite frequently

    Considering that your PC is not idling, Ryzen CPUs are known to be "race to idle" (aka use as much power as possible to go back to sleep as fast as possible) and that 60°C is a normal temperature for 10% CPU usage in summer. Again, your CPU is fine.
