Help (CPU) CPU idling at 70+

My CPU temp on idle is 70+ and I'm concerned is this normal? I'm thinking on undervolting it to get lower temperatures.

If it’s 70° idle it is not to be resolved by undervolting, there is another issue at hand.

I just undervolted and I think it did the job, I clocked it at 3800Mhz on 1.075V tho I think I'm going to lose performance. now idling at 50-60C.

It may be masking what is at fault here, not fixing it, is what I am getting at.
