I'm curious about what kind of fan curve is considered the best for maintaining optimal temperatures. Also, I need to know what idle temperature I should expect for my 7700X CPU. Any advice would be great!

The ideal fan curve really depends on the cooler you’re using and how aggressive you want your cooling to be. Personally, I keep mine running between 30-50% based on the temperature.

For idle temperatures, you’re generally looking at a range of 35 to 45 degrees Celsius. If your CPU is idling around 50 degrees, it’s a bit on the higher side, but not alarmingly so. Just keep an eye on it!
Is 50°C fine?
