[SOLVED] Is this the best arrangement for these fans? Pictures in thread.

Basically, I was wondering if I have the best setup to optimize airflow throughout my PC. Would I need to change anything in order for better cooling?

Friend has same radiator cooler as me, (h100i corsair) pretty similar specs but his CPU is sat at 20c cooler at all times. Mine sits idle at 35-40c, his at 15-20c. When I'm gaming, it's around 70c and his is around 50c. GPU temps are both the same though.
Made me question my airflow/fans or whether I should just reapply some paste.

My CPU is an i9-11900 and I have a Maximus Hero 13 motherboard. I was also wondering if these two might just run a little hotter.

Any suggestions?

hotter compared to what?

i would say your idle temps are ~4-6° higher than i would aim for. gaming, ~5-10°.
definitely not bad and probably a bit better than than your average builder.
but I would expect to see a bit better.

how are your fan curves set for each case fan
and the cooler's?
