The temps are fine but the CPU is running slow. You should try Aida64 extreme to see what is the highest clocks you get and at the same time it will show temps. The 8700K should be boosting to 4.7Ghz....I am sure your cooler may have something to do with this but first clear everything and run Aida and report both max CPU speed and temps...
Yep an AIO would be great. I use the Corsair H150i Pro but any good 240mm or even better 280mm will do the job.
HEY! Im back with nzxt kraken x62! And I would like to overclock that cpu now! temps when idle 24 celsius (cpu) and motherboard 19. So What am I doing first? Am I going to enable that xmp? And then what
 
First thing is go into BIOS and enable 'optimised settings'....Then go an enable XMP and save and exit. Check to make sure yoy are boosting correctly using AIDA and let me know what max speed you reach i.e. 4.7GHz and what max temps hit whilst running AIDA..
