7800x3D Tweeks - First time AMD user

Hello,

I joined AMD for the first time with a 7800x3D and I am very happy with it in terms of performance. I am quite new to overclocking too when it comes to voltages and what I should have in idle vs load and all that.

I took some time to look up AMD and figured out slightly how PBO works along with Curve Optimizer and LLC.

I set the Curve Optimizer to -30 on All Cores (probably can do more but not sure if needed) and LLC to Extreme which is the one right under the flat line on the scaling after watching a few Youtube Guides. 

Now, I am not sure if everything is set properly because it feels like in idle it runs quite hot and I am not sure what I should look at to make sure it runs properly besides the temperature which in a Cinebench test won't go above 85-86C. While Gaming it never reached 70C, it sits around 55-69, tested just a few games like Enshrouded, DayZ, GTA 5 and Valorant/CS2.

Sometimes I find myself just browsing the internet, opening up Fan Control as it just happened or watching a YouTube video and I see the temperature spiking from 50-55 to 67-68 and eventually going back down.

Do I need to tweek anything to make it run differently in idle or have more power under load?

What's your opinion on the following info from HWInfo. Picture was taken while writing this message.

Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2
RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z5 6400 with XMP on.

Thank you!

All normal on a 7000-series Ryzen.
