Decided to install the NZXT software to update the default lighting but I had also noticed that my CPU temps was averaging at 65c peaking now and again at around 73c. This is after the PC being on for most of the day gaming but these temps I am seeing now is just with Discord, Youtube video playing and Spotify open. Nothing else, just seems awfully high for me. 

 

Unfortunately Im pretty clueless in what I could do to see how to lower it. Maybe it needs new thermal paste? Any help or guidance would be appreciated to troubleshoot or fix.

 

My PC is coming to 2 years old in September and I do clean it every couple months. PC comprises of:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT
GPU: MSI X TRIO RTX 3080
MBD: ASUS Rog X570-F
RAM: 2x16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro
WATERCOOLER: Corsair H100i RGB Platinum
PSU: Corsair HX1000i Platinum
CASE: NZXT H510 Black
