If you've only just set it up then I doubt it's actually idle, there's probably a lot going on in the background with indexxing and updates etc, so the CPU is probably fairly utilised? You can check that in task manager, see if there's a process that's using it.

Even if I close all the tasks the temperature never goes below 45 Celsius. I`ve tried to clean Windows, but its the same.

You won't be able to close the system tasks, you have no control over them.
The only way to make sure it's idle is to monitor CPU usage as suggested previously.
Can you post your full specs from the order page so we can see what we're dealing with?

Sorry for the late reply.
Ive checked the system in some games. The CPU was standing around 60-65 C while the GPU went up `till 78-79 C. When I tried out Prime95 I had to stop it after 2min because the CPU heated up to 94 C.

That cooler is nowhere near enough for the processor I’m afraid.
The case isn’t suitable either.
Slow SSD
In short the build is poorly designed and won’t perform well at all.

Yeah, its my bad. I guess that's gonna be a good lesson for me. Are there any alternatives for the cooler ?

You'd need a H115i Platinum as a minimum, H150i Pro recommended.
The case would need changing in any event, the build will burn up within 6 months in that case.
TBH, the motherboard isn't really suitable either.
I think you need to see if you can return it and get some advice on something more suitable.
It would take about £600 - 700 to make that build suitable.

That's fine. Thank you for your help I asked for an RMA, hope they will reply.

You don't need an RMA, it doesn't need fixing, there's nothing they can do with it.That's fine. Thank you for your help
It needs redesigning. It's not a suitable collection of components.
Sorry to jump in but out of interest, why is the MB not suitable in this instance?

The VRM's aren't adequate for the CPU and they'll burn out quickly.
Thanks. Seems i still have much to learn about motherboards.

Also I read you shouldn't overclock AMD CPU?
