I see that this thread is full of armchair engineers.
People seem to have a really hard time understanding that the closer to the transistors you put a temperature sensor, the hotter it's going to be. If you could measure the temperature inside a transistor gate, I'm sure it would be even higher. This is why temperature limits for the junction is different than the limits for the edge.
If temperatures are within spec and it maintains them, who cares? It literally means that this is the range that AMD certifies their hardware good at. I'd be more concerned if it was regularly exceeding the spec.
