Upgraded to a Ryzen 3600 with Stock cooler, temps at 78 - 85 degree while gaming
Is this normal? I upgraded to a Ryzen 3600 but i dont have my new CPU cooler yet and i dont want to wait so i installed the stock one. But the temps are horrible... at idle i sit around 60 degrees and while gaming at 50% i get 78 degress and at 80% 85 degrees... Is this the stock coolers fault or did i do something wrong? I dont have any OC on the CPU and left the bios on default with xmp enabled. I reaplied the thermal paste 3 times now (Arctic Silver Mx2 that was lying around for 1.5 years).

Air flow is probably an issue. If you open the case what are your temps?
3 degrees lower.
I just ran Cinebench R20 on my Ryzen 5 2600, and peak was around 87^(o)C. Idle/web surfing its 50^(o)C. So other than the idle temp, it appears to be within operating temps. One other thing you might check is the voltage that your running at. If its at 1.4v or higher try changing that to say 1.25v as a starting point to manage power consumption.
Alright trank you! Makes me less concerned
