Fortunately, I have a second unopened NZXT Z73 here (because I've got a 2nd build I have to do as well) and opened that one to check. I even started to get worried that maybe there was a little piece of cellophane over the thermal pad that maybe I forgot to remove. I didn't use aftermarket thermal paste or anything and just went with whatever NZXT puts on there so I don't think I could have screwed up the thermal paste application. I haven't touched or tweaked anything or even updated the BIOS as I'm not even familiar with the BIOS yet. Or maybe its just normal and thats the way these AMD 5900X run. I'm not sure what I may have done.if anything. I was very careful to use a "cross" pattern when gently tightening them down. Maybe I screwed something up? Overtightened the mounting screws on the cooler? Didn't tighten them enough? (I was afraid to go more than just barely finger tight). You'll have to forgive me as its been a good 10 years since I built a system and my last build was an Intel 3770K and I'd expect to see Mid-to-High twenties reported by the BIOS "Monitor" page.

Whatever the case, I'm sure they are pulling that out of windows and mine is coming from the BIOS "monitor" page so maybe its way off. So I'm wondering if maybe what my BIOS is reporting is different? Even my google results are all over the map with some reporting temps in the mid fifties are normal and others saying that low forties is normal. When I google normal temps for a 5900X most folks are reporting what they get in Windows at Idle. The NZXT Kraken Z73 display shows "Liquid Temp" at 29 Degrees. It doesn't even have windows installed yet and I was just about to shut it down and start cable management when I happened to look on the "Monitor" tab of the BIOS.
It made it through POST just fine and I went into the BIOS. I just finished assembling it and fired it up for the very first time to make sure everything worked before I start cable management.
