My PC was extremely hot at idle…around 60-70 degrees at idle, it was my first time building a higher spec PC and I made alot of mistakes clearly, well second time round with a better CPU cooler and case it’s a lot better now.
7 5700x
4070
Went from an artic 23 cooler to a cooler master H412R, swapped out the NXT fans with Artic P12 fans and changed to a fractal meshify C, used MX4 thermal paste too
Went from 60-70 C idle and 80-85 under load to 35-37 idle and 60-70 C under load, very impressed
Also made my cable management much much better, overall great few hours and now I will reap the benefits, slowly getting better at this PC building thing

Hello GT283, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!
