Ryzen 5 2600X Temps
What's an idle/gaming temp for that CPU?

Using conventional air or water cooling, anywhere from just above ambient to 95C.

It's such a broad question that i don't know how you expect a specific answer. Ambient environment, cooling setup, software environment, and load on the CPU will all factor in.

Idle temperatures aren't too important; load temperatures are. If this with stock cooling in a fairly typical case setup? If so, load temperatures in the 70s or 80s are probably normal (and safe). Better cooling environment and hardware may get that down some.

i dont have a 2600 but i do have a 1600 and a 5600x

the 1600 idles at 29c and 55c under full load (stock fan)

the 5600x idles at 30c and 62c under full load (Hyper212)

Room temp @19c (viewed in ryzen master software) no overclock except xmp for ram.

Well idle means vary little to be honest, I have a Threadripper 1950x at 4ghz at 1.39v and at idle I have my fans set to 500rpm so my idle temps are around 50c or so. Idle temps will vary between coolers and even motherboards. Load temps is what you want to look for.

I couldn't tell you how cool or hot that CPU runs, but if you leave it at stock settings, Turbo boost I believe quits boosting when temps hit around 68c and it'll just run at base clocks if not a step higher that base clocks. 80c won't hurt the cpu and again, I can't say much about that CPU, but I'd try to keep it below 80c if you can.

2700x and prism load doesn't hit 60c mostly 50-55c. Stock xfr2 is around 4300mhz.
