Zen3 is OK to 95c TJmax, the cache would probably like to be cooler than 95 so you're fine at 85
5700x3d is not a high wattage part tho if you have a big tower cooler it should easily be under 70c l, check mounting pressure, thermal paste (do not use a pad)
I've got the Honeywell PTM7950 phase changing pad, which from reviews is performing as good as the best thermal pastes. I'd rather not remove it if it's not necessary as it's quite expensive but if I don't figure out another reason I'll try replacing it I guess.
Pads tend to be a lot more sensitive to uneven pressure ime, but I'm also old school and don't use pads over a decent paste.
Check your airflow. It could be that heat is building somewhere and being recycled into the intake.
Thermal Grizzly also makes a high performance pad (i.e. nothing wrong with using a properly-rated pad), so if you think yours is good, it's probably airflow related.
Yeah, turns out removing front panel drops the temps by 10 degrees... There's a mesh variant, or rather was because it's nowhere to be found. I will ask around or buy more fans and that should do it.
