So recently I have noticed that my CPU is hitting sometimes over 40 degrees on idle and between 50 - 90 degrees in certain games when using the lowest of settings and CPU utilization below 30%. My CPU is not overclocked and in BIOS I have AIO running at performance mode. Is there something I done wrong?? I have aio installed at front of case pushing out air and I have 1x 140mm fan at back of case pulling in air.

put your fan at max and see if that helps (run 3d mark, we wont keep it at max it is just a step towards working)
