Cooling Improvements Recommended

Both your CPU and GPU are running above community average. Here are some steps to bring them down:

Reapply thermal paste — this alone can drop temps by 5–10°C
Upgrade to an aftermarket cooler (tower or AIO) for your CPU
Improve case airflow — add intake and exhaust fans
Clean dust from heatsinks, filters, and fan blades — dust is the #1 cause of rising temps
