Idle is normally 60 or so, which seems alarming for any CPU. I am not overclocking or using any other cooler just the stock one. So any reason why this is happening?
 
Solution
I'd remount the cooler. It seems to me there is a problem with heat transferrance if your idle temps are that high. I don't know your experience level, but there are many videos on youtube showing thermal paste application and how to mount the Ryzen cooler.
