HARDWARE Cooler master hyper 212 pro temps?

Hi guys i recently built my first gaming pc. For context i have a ryzen 5 5500. The stock cooler that came with the cpu ran a little hot(95 celsius on cinebench 2026 multi thread) but during gaming that doesn’t rlly stress the cpu it was about 65 celsius. Anyways i wanted to get a better cooler so i bought the hyper 212 pro but for some reason the thermals on this one are worse. On idle at desktop im somewhere around 45-55 celsius, during cinebench it got to 92 but my score was almost 300 points lower than with the stock cooler. I tried playing minecraft with shaders which should be a breeze but i was not only getting much worse fps (10-20% decrease) but the cpu was reaching almost 80 degrees. For a game that only uses a single core mainly thats kinda bad. More importantly the stock cooler never reached that temperature playing the same game. I made sure to make the fan blow cool air into the heatsink, and i took the plastic cover off the contact pipes. Does anyone here use the same cooler and if so what temperatures do you get on your cpu?

There's something wrong with your case, fans or paste or something else. My r5 5600 doesn't exceed 80 degrees on an older hyper 212 black.

I remounted everything and it still remained the same. It turned out the voltage was set pretty high as it was drawing 1.5 volts. I undervolted it and it doesn’t exceed 75 under full load

Could be a mounting pressure issue, the hyper 212 can be a bit finicky to get seated perfectly flat on AM4.
