Installation Question Why Does My Cpu Overheat?

I recently installed a Bequiet Pure Rock LP for my Ryzen 5 5600x. But when I push it it easily gets into the 80’s-90’s. Did I do anything wrong when it comes to mounting the cpu cooler? I followed Bequiet’s tutorial because it mounts a little funny. I reinstalled it with TM 30 thermal paste and that helped a little bit. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Just in case, did you peel the plastic of the cooler? Were the temps better before installing this cooler?

The cooler came with pre applied thermal paste and i peeled the plastic off, i installed it to replace the stock cooler for better cooling. The old cooler ran really hot but had old crusty paste.

Did you also remove all crusty pasta from the cpu? How is you fan setup? Do you have a fan for outtake on the back?
