High Idle Temps with 3700X / Wraith Prism cooler?

Fair enough...I did read some time ago that the sensors on some Ryzen chips were pretty poor and unreliable (back when I was trying to work out why my temps were constantly fluctuating), also something that said on some the temperatures were 10 degrees higher than actual to ensure no overheating issues. But it's possible that what I read was innacurate (did read it in several places)
I think that was the case back in the Ryzen 1 and 2 series actually now you come to mention it, I do remember something about bad sensors.

I think that was ironed out with 3000 series and 5000’s though.

I just downloaded Ryzen Master to test it (never even considered using it before given I don't ever change anything like what it does) and temperatures are definitely more static...am currently running the mid to high 40s, occasionally foray into the low 50s (AI Suite and other monitors would have it bouncing from low 40s to low 60s)

Most interesting was the peak CPU speed listed at 1200-1500MHz...AI Suite lists it as up to the the max of 4200!
AI Suite is not the best at the best of times. I think it's problably reporting the max speed available rather than the peak.

sorry if i shouldnt just reply to this, but i have a ryzen 7 3700x on a b450 tomahawk motherboard. it is at stock settings on an 240mm aio. i am idle at around 40-60c. it will just bounce around between those temps. while gaming it will get in the 60s and on occt stress test for 1 hour it maxed at 78 c . is this normal or should i worry about it? this is much higher temps with the same aio than my r 2600 was.
Is this a PCS system? I can't recall if PCS ever supplied the Tomahawk.
