I think it probably should run a little hotter under heavy load. My CPU isn't giving me performance numbers I expect of a Ryzen 4750G. The numbers aren't awful - they're within the ballpark(ish), but it's kind of like one of the cylinders isn't firing sometimes.
So when I look at the cooling numbers (running cooler than normal) and combine that with the performance numbers (running slower than normal) it leads me to believe my chip is being underutilized by my mobo and/or bios.

If you're running Windows 11, there a a lot of driver issues that the chip manufacturers are working through yet. Also remember that you might be comparing your cpu to people that have tweaked theirs to maximize its performance, including not running the TPM module which has been shown to lower performance quite a bit.

All modern desktop grade CPUs have been running at those temperatures for a long time now. Intel included. Big SIs like Dell or HP only use the bare minimum needed cooling so this is also something to keep in mind.
65 C is a fantastic temp under load. My R5 3600XT hits 75 C under Prime95 stress test with a CoolerMaster EVO-212 black edition on it. If you are dissatisfied with your heat levels, you would need to invest in either a very high end air cooler like something from Noctua, Scythe or BeQuiet; or you would need to go water cooling with an AIO. All of this assumes you can even fit the coolers into your system. I custom build all my PCs so I know I can put in whatever cooler I might need to go to in the future.
As for voltages, the funny thing with Ryzen is that they actually do better with less voltage in many cases. I ran a full per CCX/core tune on my system and found that performance went up, some voltages were set lower and overall heat didn't change any that mattered.

I'd be thrilled with the temp if I wasn't also lagging in CPU performance compared to other setups with the same CPU. I suspect something with my mobo/bios configuration.

I'm already running 2x16.
Anyway, I've got a bigger issue now, and I'll probably need a whole new case and cooling system.

.. with working on my own home project for many years in a stop and go fashion.
Every time I stumbled on something I don't like, I improve it!
Even though it's my own code, 6 months later, there is always plenty of thing that need improvement it turns out.
And the end result grow increasingly functional yet simple at the same time. Loving the look of it!

A sure sign your software is improving. Congrats on good design.

now I see many good deals for monitors, especially curved monitors.
but I am not sure what kind of benefit of using curved monitor instead of flat monitors.

I just bought a new monitor, and was considering a curved one. I think a curved monitor would be great for watching video and playing games.
I do the user interfaces for our products, so I spend a lot of time judging control layouts. Like everyone else here at CP, I also spend a lot of time looking at code. I think a curved monitor would be distracting in both cases, at least for me.
I bought a flat monitor.

I feel the same way. 
All the devs at my organization use multiple flat screen monitors at work and at home. I'm eager to know how devs find working with a curved screen. Because I have limited desk space at home (and am therefore forced to use a single monitor), I'm contemplating replacing my 1920x1200 screen with an ultra-wide panel.

I no longer use multiple monitors. Instead I use one 4k 55" and just tile my windows using Win+Arrow
It's way more flexible and clean, IMO, and less cable mess.
I'll never go back.

I only use a single monitor nowadays, at least at home. I lost my right eye in a fall last year, and a second monitor doesn't buy me anything now, as I have to move too much to see anything on it.
I keep a 2nd monitor at work, but that's only because it's the same touch screen monitor we use in our products. I occasionally need to check layouts on the same precise resolution as the product.

I have two curved monitors and my brain adjusted to the point where they now look flat and the flat screen on the adjacent laptop looks bowed out. In the end, I think they are more hype than anything else.

You can display 2 applications side by side on an ultra-wide curved monitor.
I do not have that kind of money to splurge on myself.

I will try this feature. Amazon has some good deals now.

Rather certain that curved monitors have a problem with sharing. The more people you need to look at the same screen at the same time the more that becomes a problem.
I also like using two monitors for a very specific reasons. First because it allows for a backup screen. Second 'full screen' means there is still another screen to have information on.
One can have two curved monitors but I suspect that the range of eye motion is for using both of those is going to require turning ones head to see all of it. And setting it up like that probably takes quite a bit away from the esthetic reasons for having it in the first place.

Mom 1: Do you do elf on the shelf for your kids?
Mom 2: No, I am a Harry Potter fan. I teach my kids to be against the enslavement of house-elves.
Sooo... I guess Dobby is a free elf... on your shelf...
