I constantly getting 50-70 degrees on idle and 90+ degrees on load. I know 50-70 deg is just fine but on idle its just bad.
I didn't overclock my processor.
I am using a hyper tx3 evo since my stock cooler randomly stopped working and the thermal-paste that comes with it the hyper tx3 evo.
My case has good airflow and my gpu does just fine.
Should change my cooler or something ?

Most likely a bad mount.
Push pin coolers are a pain in the butt due to how easy it is to screw up the installation.

Once again, remove the old paste and reapply new. Mount the cooler in an X formation:
-top-left + bottom-right pin at the same time. They must CLICK.
-top-right + bottom-left pin at the same time. The CLICK is important.

If you did it right, you shouldn't see idle temps of 50C+.
