Z270-I hot idle temps.

Motherboard temp is 68c idle according to BIOS and HWMonitor. It never goes above 74c under load. Is this a problem? Idle temp seems extremely hot. My CPU (6700k) idles at ~32c and stays under 80c under load. GPU (1080) idles around 45c and gets to about 75c under load.

CPU cooler is a Corsair H50 with 2 120mm fans intaking cold air up front and 2 noctua 80mm exhausting in the back. I'm not experiencing any problems while gaming or anything but the high idle temp has me slightly worried.

That seems really hot for the MB especially at idle. Have you checked to see if you have neg or postibe air flow?

sound good for a h50 with those voltages of 1.4 that is a lot btw. check 1. thermal paste and airflow since the memory also is high. btw what is your ambien temp?
