Ryzen 7 7700 temperature while gaming

I have the following system:
CPU: Ryzen 7 7700
CPU Cooler: ID-Cooling Frozr A620 Pro SE, Arctic Cooling MX6 thermal paste
MB: Gigabyte B650 Gaming X rev 1.3
RAM: 2x16GB 6000MHz
GPU: RTX3060 12GB
SSD: 1x500GB for OS (M.2), 1x1TB for games (M.2)
HDD: 1x512GB S-ata3
PSU: Seasonic 650W semi modular, 80+ gold
Fans: 2x140mm intake, 2x120mm exaust.
Monitoring software: HWinfo.

The problem is the following:
I got about a maximum of 85*C on the CPU while gaming Stalker 2 Heart of Chornobyl. The themperature of the room where I play games is about 29-30 degrees Celsius.
While idling the temperature is at a minimum of 36*C

...and the question:
Is the CPU's mentioned temperature (85*C) normal while gaming ?

EDIT: The case is Redragon Scalpel Black. It has 2 x 140mm intake fans, and 2x120mm evacuation fans.

Sounds normal to me?

Looks normal, not even close to thermal throttling.

Stalker 2 compiles shaders at the start. During the first shader compile the cpu gets run at 100% or a high utilisation. Might be cpus max temp. The high room temperature probably adds more than 10-12c to the cpu temperature vs normal room temperature. Not bad given the room temperature. Would expect the large cooler to work better though on a 65w tdp cpu.

Case model? Case have ok airflow. Increase cpu fan fan curve?

Normal. Mine goes to 95

idle temp is more dependent on room/ambient temp, and meaningless

as long as max temp is staying under 90c its fine

I remember when the Ryzen 7000 series launched AMD said 95c was normal so at 85 your fine.

My Ryzen 9 7950X3D sits at 78°C during stress; personally, I'd be a bit worried when it's at 85°C... but I suppose it's still within an acceptable range.

in bios set the fan curves to be 0% at 50-60c to 100% at 90c

85c for any piece of consumer chip is too much but there are not many options at your disposal to deal with it. The bulky ihs on am5 CPUs is the main cause and you can either:
- go into bios undervolt or lock all cores at low voltages by sacrificing a few 100Mhz
- or delid it

The former helped with my 7800x3d without sacrificing much regarding performance but eventually I sold that PC and bought a cheap 13700kf instead.

85c is fine, you could probably get it cooler, my guess is this.

Poor air flow case as the cooler looks beefy enough for a 7700.

If you are peaking at 85c in S.T.A.L.K.E.R in game you will probably hit 95c under a stress test.

Yeah they actually thinned it for 9000 series, 1.7mm so quite a lot, I never see my 9800X3D above 70c when stressed, that is on a 360 AIO though and i have a good air flow case too.

Didn't they move the vcache below the ccd?

Yeah that helped to keep temps down but you give it back with higher boost.
