OK im a little worried about my thermals on my r5

i know things are against me its a very small case (node 202) and a i have a cryorig c7 cooler (biggest i can fit in the case) but my idles are 49-55c when browsing the web etc. in gaming its 80/85c (980ti in the case too) the case gets hot but the 980ti only hits 80c in demanding games @4k res too. i have used good thermal paste and have fitted many cpu coolers over the years so am a little hesitant to think its my thermal past application. its totally stock any ideas?
 
ok so just tested with ryzen master, 50c idle (thats the bit i dont really like) and just played gta5 for an hour and settled at 75c (given the case and gpu in such a small space as its not an exhaust gpu) im ok with the gaming temps just not the idle. i was debating getting a reference cooler for the gpu to exhaust that heat. i have 2x 120mm fans blowing directly onto the gpu and creating a positive pressure.

was thinking of trying to fine some really small fans to put on the grill to exhaust near the cpu. or even some how trying to shoe horn in a 120mm aio on the cpu

This is the space i have without cpu fitted (its all very tight)

The chamber for the mobo actually has no fan just a grill above and beside the cpu section. I feel it could do with some forced cooling in that chamber really
 
Its very strange. I think i need more airflow. When closing a game its at about 78c and takes a good 15 mins to drop to 50c and thats with a fairly aggressive fan curve on the cooler. I just dont think the case is dumping the heat. Going to measure up the limited space i have for maybe a couple of 40mm fans
 
Gpu seems to be 80c some times 85c. I have two 120mm fans blowing onto the card. Thats slightly clocked at stock volts and auto fan. Csn keep it at 70c with a custom curve but i prefer the quiet. Going to try a fer 40mm fans exhausing in the cpu compartment.
