I'm building my own gaming rig and I've been a bit concerned about its temperatures. Here are my specs: I have a Core i5 12400F cooled by a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB. For graphics, I'm using an RX 7900 GRE on an Asus TUF Z790 BTF with a Corsair 750W Gold PSU. My ambient temperature is around 30°C.
When idle, I'm seeing temperatures of about 40°C for the CPU and around 35°C for the GPU. During gaming, my CPU hits around 68°C (sometimes up to 73°C), while the GPU reaches about 73°C. When I run a CPU benchmark, it maxes out at 55°C.
I've been removing the front glass panel for better ventilation because it gets really hot to the touch while gaming, and that drops the temps by about 10°C. My case has two intake fans and one exhaust fan running at roughly 1100 RPM. Do you think I should add more fans?

Wow, 30°C ambient? Just hope your humidity isn't too high during those summer months!
Yeah, those temps are totally fine. Just keep an eye on it during intense gaming sessions.
Thank God. When should I be worrying..
You definitely still have some thermal headroom! Those temperatures are safe. Just a heads-up, restrictive front panels can hurt cooling. If you don’t mind running without the glass, that's a good option to improve airflow.
I should add 3 more exhaust fans.
Honestly, your temps look pretty normal. Nothing to worry about unless your CPU hits 90°C or more. The 60s and 70s you’re seeing are perfectly okay for gaming. Keep an eye on it, but you should be fine!
Oh thank you for your opinion & time. <3
Right, tysm for the guidance.
Damn! we get those high for about 2 months in July August.
