Ideal temp when idle and gaming with i7 9700k?

[joji]

So I just upgraded to a new motherboard, cpu, ram and cooler last couple days ago and I was just wondering if my new setup or should I say cpu's temp is behaving at the right phase because I'm not so sure myself either.

Idle temp is around 35 degrees
Gaming temp is around 60-70 degrees

Here are a number of games that I've tested so far too:

Devil May Cry 5: 56 degrees
PUBG: 64-72 degrees
The Division 2: 60-65 degrees
League of Legends: 60 degrees
CSGO: 65-70 degrees
Dota 2: 65-70 degrees
Grand Theft Auto 5 (Online): 60-70 degrees
Shadow of the Tomb Raider: 50-60 degrees
DOOM: 60-66 degrees
Dishonored 2: 65-75 degrees
Resident Evil 2: 50-60 degrees
Dying Light: 50-60 degrees
The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt: 50-60 degrees
Batman Arkham Knight: 50-60 degrees
Hitman 2: 50-60 degrees
Bioshoch Infinite: 60 degrees
Resident Evil 7: 55-60 degrees

I'm using a cooler master hyper evo 212 black edition rgb. Wondering if the temps are okay or should it be a little more cooler than this. Do I have to detach the cooler and reinstall a thermal paste, adjust the fans rpm, etc?

Load temperatures look good. Idle temperature doesn't matter.
I recommend nonetheless to have a look at the fan curve inside the UEFI. Your UEFI may offer different profiles, but the best way is to set up a custom profile (PWM).
It's a budget cooler after all (~40$). You will get lower temperatures with a more capable air cooler, but the temperatures are fine. Nothing to worry.

I don't really know anything about those stuffs yet but at what fan curve am I supposed to be at and how do I set a custom profile and is it necessary?

Consult your motherboard's manual for accessing the fan curve inside the UEFI. A custom profile is not necessary. As mentioned, your UEFI may offer already preconfigured profiles. These profiles are usually called "standard" (what is enabled), "silent"or "performance" or similar.
With a custom profile you can choose how the CPU and case fans (if connected via System Fan header) behave when temperatures start rising, to your liking. Some people want a quiet system even when they play, so they aim for higher temperatures instead. That's something a custom profile allows you to do.
Fan Speed of your Hyper Evo 212: 650-2000 RPM (PWM).
You can f.e. set the PWM to 100% ( 2000 RPM) at the max. temperature you want the CPU to reach, like 70°C. You trade lower/higher fan speed (noise) for higher/lower temperatures.

Usually the standard profile works well. Your temperatures look good.

anything under 70 is optimal

Sometimes i hit 72-75 degrees with certain games like pubg and dishonored 2. Is that still okay?

yes 70 degrees is okay for long term gaming even if it sometimes goes up to 75 degrees.

Thanks I appreciate it

Is it ideal to set the fan profile to performance mode or should I leave it as it is running at standard mode?
