The fans are exhausting the air to the back of the case The cooler fans are pushing air to the back I don't understand why It runs so hot

Its just a hot cpu 5700x runs a lot cooler than the 5800x and has the same specs

80°C under load is fine

#

The chips can handle up to 105°C before throttling

yeah its fine but its nice to have thermal headroom so you don't reach the point of thermal throttling 😄

80 under load is plenty of headroom

#

Would be a lot worse if it was 80 on idle
