Welcome to the forums.
Idle temps means nothing, what is your room temp? run some benchmarks(Prime, IBT etc) and see how it is.
DOnt understand the rest

Hi! Those idle temps dont look out of the ordinary. Download OCCT, it has CPU/GPU stress tests and nice monitoring so you can keep an eye on temps.
