Long Post Alert !

So installed my Ryzen 5 2600X yesterday.
Using the Stock Cooler and Stock Pre-Applied thermal paste.

Was getting very high temps, boiled it down to the Core Performance Boost option in the BIOS (XFR)

These are my results.

That is perfectly normal but i see where you are going, you do indeed have temperature spikes which is unusual for Ryzen. I recommend you try lowering settings in games and comparing and if you get 5 degrees Celsius difference it is that but if not try re-apply thermal compound. If that doesnt work there might be problems with your Cooler. If its not that either buy a Liquid cooler.

You are loosing some performance without the boost enabled. If it's overheating you must have something wrong with your cooling as that cooler is good enough even for constant OC up to 4.2GHz.
Check fan speeds at higher temps, fan should run full speed at anything at or above 60 - 65c.
Check if core voltage is not too high at full boost, some automatic settings can push it above 1.5v. which is unacceptable, shouldn't go above 1.4v.
Recheck cooler mounting and eventually change paste to something better like Noctua NT-H1.
X models of CPU have 2 temperature readings on with 10c offset and many programs don't compensate for it so your actual temps you should care about may be 10c lower.
HW Info https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php can show you both, look for CPU (Tdie) which is one you have to worry about and CPU (Tctl) which is used internally for XFR to decide on boost level and keep things safe.

In HWInfo both are showing same temps. My ambient room temperature is somewhere around 35-38 degrees. Case fans are at full speed btw. Should I worry about getting a new cooler ?
