60-70 degrees when idle

I have a Ryzen 7 3700x, gigabyte rtx 3080 and an all corsair custom loop to cool everything. I'm running 2 rads (360mm) with 3 fans on each. I had a ton a build up from the coolant I was using so I flushed it out with distilled water, cleaned the build up off and let it run for a day. temps were ok. cpu was idling at 50. gpu at like 30 but after I switched out distilled water for cryofuel my cpu is idling at 65-70. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. any suggestions?

no real change when I disable icue. CPU temps are all over the place today, anywhere from 60 to 80. It has to be the cooler on the CPU, one of the screws seemed kina wonky compared to the others,  maybe I'm not getting a good connection? I ordered a new one that I will try tomorrow and see, if thats not  it I have no idea what to do.

I would try a remount of the CPU block before buying a new one

 

If nothing else changed I'm not sure what else it could be. Cryofuel vs water should be nearly identical in temps.

 

I know 3000 series Ryzen can be hot at "idle" due to how it boosts and runs high voltage with stock settings. Minor background tasks can spike your temps, even just moving the mouse around. What are temps in bios?
