I know that 7700x is supposed to run hot but an idle of 75-80c with spikes up to 85 open case seems crazy. The liquid temperature is also 51c. I've tried reapplying thermal paste twice but still no difference. Is it the liquid? is it the fans? Does my room temperature matter? Please help.

What did you upgrade from? We'll be seeing two sets of specs one for before the upgrade and one for after the upgrade.

Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

What are your ambient room air temps? Make and model of the fans as well as the number of fans in the case and their orientation?
