Hey all. I’ve got a Ryzen 9 5900x and in macOS according to the AMD Power Gadget it runs at around 55 degrees at idle. Is this normal for this chip or do I have an issue somewhere?
RadeonGadget says my GPU is at 45 degrees so I’m not concerned about that.

Have you checked whether you have the AIO fans orientated correctly i.e not pulling warm air from the PC case through the radiator but rather pulling cooler (external) air in through the radiator? Having the fans orientated incorrectly can result in slightly higher idle temps.

Fan oriented is correct.
Motherboard reports cpu temp anywhere from 6 - 20 cooler than AMD Power Gadget.
I’m still testing but with the way my fan curves are set if it was idling at 50~ then rpm would be higher. I think I need to use a different temperature monitor or contact the dev of the power gadget for an update.
Today's idle temps are better after ticking all the boxes on expositive data for OpenCore.
Screenshot of bios was taken directly after a reboot from Sonoma so I think my temps are ok just not being reported correctly.

Keep in mind temperature readings from within the bios show the CPU with minimal load vs from within an operating system. A better comparison of your CPU temps would be Mac OS vs Windows or Linux.
HWMonitor is a hardware monitoring program that reads PC systems main health sensors : voltages, temperatures, powers, currents, fans speed, utilizations, clock speeds ... The program handles : CPU and GPU-level hardware monitoring LPCIO...
