idle its usually 41 c

That's a little hot, ideally idle temps should be averaging 30-35.

 

This could be a lot of things:
• Too high voltage on the CPU
• Incorrect cooler mounting

• Lack/Excess thermal compound application

 

You could also set the fan curve of your cooler to be more aggressive in lower temps, it's a nice way to get some more performance out of your cooler and also keep your CPU at optimal temperatures.

Do you have other case fans installed? Which GPU do you have (and blower or open air cooler)? Ambient temp?

mmm I suggest to instal again the cpu cooler, you put enough termal paste? I have a friend that has mounted a nhd15 and in games with a 8700k/1080 max 65-66º

Maybe its mount maybe you have factory oc'ed your cpu, (maybe you have like 1,35v constantly on your cpu like oc'ed) , those 2 things are the most common, disable all oc on bios and look for any silent fan config, but if I where you first ensure that you mounted your cpu well... (Even the pro's check that if they had the same problem as you)

Case: Corsair 760T  |  Psu: Evga  650w p2 | Cpu-Cooler : Noctua Nh-d15 | Cpu : 8600k  | Gpu: Gygabyte 1070 g1 | Ram: 2x8gb Gskill Trident-Z 3000mhz |  Mobo : Aorus GA-Z370 Gaming K3 | Storage : Ocz 120gb sata ssd , sandisk 480gb ssd , wd 1gb hdd | Keyboard : Corsair k95 rgb plat. | Mouse : Razer deathadder elite | Monitor: Dell s2417DG (1440p 165hz gsync) & a crappy hp 24' ips 1080p | Audio: Schiit stack + Akg k712pro + Blue yeti.
