Ryzen 7 5800x “overheating”

Hey, I have a 240mm kraken AIO and a NZXT h510. It’s paired with a rtx 3070 and I was wondering why it throttles to 60°c when just opening task manager, speccy, and about 5 tabs on chrome. I lowered the voltage so I didn’t cause any damage to the cpu while working through the issues. (Yes the PC has been cleaned, theirs no dust, and yes I know the 5800x runs hot, but this seems too hot for comfort).

Any other information needed, please ask!
