CPU Temperature Help

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm looking for some help on my PC, specifically my CPU temperature. I used to have an EVGA GeForce 1060 graphics card and I recently upgraded to an MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. My CPU temp before the GPU swap was idling around 38C and now it idles around 55C-58C. I have since then added more fans on the case to try and bring in more airflow but that has done little to no effect on the temperature of the CPU.
My specs are:
MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
Fractal Meshify C Tempered Glass Case
AMD Ryzen 5 3rd Gen 3600X 6 Core
MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge Wifi Motherboard
be quiet! Dark Rock 4 CPU Cooler
CORSAIR RM850X power supply

The fans I added after the GPU swap are
Fractal Design 120mm Case fans

Is there anything to do that could be a simple solution? I would like the CPU to be in the low 40s at least. I've already tried reapplying the thermal paste and that didn't change the temp as well as cleaning out the case and fans of dust. Also, my GPU idles around 33C.
 
I wouldn't be too concerned.
if nothing else was changed, you can put it down to adding a higher end GPU and now the CPU is getting more work to do.

one would think the GPU would do the heavy lifting, but obviously it is passing off tasks for the CPU to handle.
