[SOLVED] My CPU is giving off high temperature

Hey everone. So recently I built my first PC and I'm a bit curious about the temperature of my CPU, specifically when gaming. When idle its usually sits at around 40 - 55 (this seems to fluctuate) But when playing games such as The Forest it goes all the way up to 83 degrees. I have reapplied thermal paste to see if this would solve the issue, but it wasnt really to any avail.
These are my Specs:
Ryzen 5 2600
GTX 1070 ti
B450 Mortar
Coolermaster Masterbox q300p
ARCTIC Freezer 33 eSports ONE

Any suggestions as to what I can to do lower this temperature?
Thanks

Those temps arent going to hurt anything. But seem high. Is your cooler going front to back? I wouldn't expect the stock cooler to get that high. I'm assuming theres no over clock or anything. Your case should have decent air flow. And I don't think that's the issue. The way I test that is to remove the side panel and check my temps. If they drop a lot, you know it needs more fans.

Are you using the stock fan? And are you using Ryzen Master to look at the temps? AMD do theirs a little different. That software also gives you options to tweak voltages and fan settings to help it run cooler.

The fan I'm using is the ARCTIC Freezer 33 eSports ONE on my CPU, with 3 other fans in my case. I'm also using Ryzen Master to look at my CPU temps, still reading the same.
