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!

For idle temperatures, youโ€™re generally looking at a range of 35 to 45 degrees Celsius. If your CPU is idling around 50 degrees, itโ€™s a bit on the higher side, but not alarmingly so. Just keep an eye on it!

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