why are my idle temps so high? is this normal temps for air cooling?

What cpu cooling fan are you using?

>>58204731
It's a little high. Not terrible, but you could probably drop it by 10C with a better heat sink.

how big is your case? idling at 30-35c in an itx case.

Double check your heatsink on the CPU, I'd guess you should be in the 30s easily

I'm thinking it's because of all this dust on my fan?

Well that's the default fan and heatsink, it doesn't perform the best even when it's not covered with dust.

What air cooler do you use?

>>58204802
That probably doesn't help, but you could do better than that cooler.

Not the same anon but I use a cryorig h7 with 2 fans for push/pull. Keeps my cpu around 26-29 C idle.

What is your room temperature?
