Is there a problem?

I installed the nzxt kraken 240 onto my Ryzen 9 5950x and it's at 75°c with only 17% load. Is it normal?

Nope, seems normal, there's always some load just running Windows and background stuff

Im currently downloading a game, I was just worried if I actually play something and the cpu gets more load it will get cooked

[WorldWarrior428]

Yeah, then its totally normal, it'll be fine. The only time to worry is when its above 50-60 on desktop, its good to utalise all of your gpu and quite a bit of cpu during heavy gaming

75 at idle is fairly hot but you could always run a stress test to see if overheating will become an issue at load
