CPU Temp

[jaytrl]

I have a Ryzen 1600 and recently changed my stock cooler to a Noctua NH-U12S SE cooler, in order to overclock. I oc'd my cpu to 3.9MHz at around 1.35V. Idle temps are 39-49 degrees C. Under load it's around 50- 60C. I'm trying to get the idle temps to an average 33-35 C. Any tips on how I can make this happen? I'd appreciate any advice or direction. Thank you!

if you can please elaborate i'd appreciate it. i'm assuming by fan curve you mean change the flow in which the air is distributed in the case? right now I have a NZXT S340 case. I have two 140mm intake fans, one 140 mm exhaust top fan, one exhaust 120mm exhaust rear fan, and the Noctua fan connected to the cooler as an intake fan. How would you go about changing the fan curve? I appreciate your advice. Thank you!

Noctua fan as intake fan? Connect it to CPU fan. By fan curve i mean RPM setting in BIOS

But why? Idle temps don't matter at all, they are at best a indicator for bad apply of thermal compound or a to small heatsink generally.

yes, i've set the noctua fan that's on the cpu cooler to intake air coming in from the front fans, exhausting it to the rear fan behind it
