Ryzen runs crazy hot?

I'm idling at around 50 degrees with a Corsair h110i. Under stress testing it gets up to +/- 80 degrees depending on ambient temperature. I'd say your temps are fine.
 
I suspect the temperature readings are off by a lot. I've used two HSFs and both were relatively cool to the touch in an open air case (ambient temp of 70 F/ 21 C), yet the temperature under load has been mid to high 70s at 3.6GHz and 1.288v. There hasn't been an update for my motherboard since launch, though, so I'm not sure if it's something that has/could be fixed with a BIOS update.

EDIT: a lot of the early reviews like this as well as Ryan Shrout on PC Perspective's most recent podcast episode hinted that the formula AMD is using for CPU temp may be providing inaccurate and inconsistent readings.

All set now that I reinstalled windows. Think that was why it was showing wrong sensor info. Now it shows the correct voltage. Also looks like my idle temp has dropped too. It is still at 60C in bios, but after booting etc.... it drops down to ~45C.

By comparison my 7600 non K with a stock Intel cooler idles currently at 33C. And this is a Silencio 352 with only 2 fans. Interesting gap.
 
Can the designs of heatsinks be better optimized for small die cpus? Or are we reaching the limits of process node improvements.

Can one of you with Ryzen run this antique benchmark? Old and dated but is somewhat useful comparing cpu architecture gains thru the years. Scales really good with clockspeed.
