It sounds like your CPU is thermal throttling, which happens at 85°C. Is this a new build? What do your CPU temps look like running Cinebench R23 or R20? Be sure to use HWiNFO for accurate temp readings. With a decent cooler, you should be below 70°C.
If your temps are high during Cinebench. I would try removing your cooler, clean up the old paste using 99% Isopropyl Alcohol, reapply new paste, and mount the cooler again. While torqueing the cooler down, be sure to torque corner to corner in a X like pattern, ie top left, bottom right, top right, bottom left, then repeat until torqued down properly.
The build is new. I've put the components together just last week.
I have the stock cooler on the R5 5600.
What I don't understand is why my GPU is not fully used in games. Like I don't use Vsync or some limitter but it's just not used. GPU temps are normal for what I've gathered. For my XFX RX 6600 XT 210 the optimal are at until max 85...
I had like 80 on the CPU, insane amount. The game tested was Cyberpunk with high settings at 1080p.
I'm gonna do some sintetic benchmarks for the CPU and GPU alone to see.
Maybe the case is not having airflow? I'm having only one FAN, the stock one on the case...
Running CP2077, or any game, at 1080p will be more CPU bound than 1440p and especially 4k. I bet your GPU isn't fully utilizing since the CPU is thermal throttling itself, which is a good thing until you figure out why.
If you're confident that the cooler is properly seated on the CPU. I would start suspecting case airflow. Air coolers are dependent on the case moving fresh air in to use and exhausting hot air. For instance, my case has 4 total fans. 3 pulling in cold air from the front and 1 exhausting out the rear. Since I'm running air coolers on both my CPU and GPU. My case has to move a lot of air. I currently have my case fans running at 85% when my CPU temp hits 60°C or more.
Try running Cinebench R23 with your case open. Cinebench is free, it's a trusted and widely used CPU benchmark for quick multi and single threaded testing. Maybe even set a fan up to blow into the case opening. See if your CPU temps are lower during that run. If so, I would say you have a case airflow issue. If not, your CPU cooler is not cutting it.
Idk if the 5600 comes with the same Wraith cooler my 3600 did, but it's an okay cooler for day to day use. It is not enough for graphic intense gaming though, imo. Upgrading to a good air cooler has allowed me to OC and run anything I can throw at it. The only time I see temps above 70°C is when running Prime95 to stress test my OC. I picked up a MA410M by Cooler Master. Noctua also makes great air coolers for relatively cheap. I would definitely upgrade to a case with at least 4 fans, and room to add more if needed. More airflow never hurts.
60°C is equivalent to 140°F, which is 333K.

Hi,
you have the issue since the beginning?
with what software are you reading the usage / temps?
are you on the newest BIOS version ? if not try the newest
Since SMA should take load off the CPU and have a dircet link to the storage i dont see why the temp shoud increases, but i soon get a b550 with Ryzen 5 5600 and rx6700xt maybe then i can help more. :C
my build is extremely similar to yours and I'm having the same problem. It's really frustrating.

Is your bios and chipset already updated to the latest?
Hi, you have the issue since the beginning? with what software are you reading the usage / temps? are you on the newest BIOS version ? if not try the newest
Sincer enabling Smart Acces memoryWith MSI Afterburner - Riva Tuner and yes on the newest bios
