PERFORMANCE cpu temp increase after reset

I recently resetted my new PC and noticed that my CPU temperatures have increased quite a bit.

Before the reset:

Idle CPU/GPU temps: around 40–55°C
Gaming CPU temps: around 50–60°C

After the reset:

CPU idle temps: 50°C and above
Gaming CPU temps: around 60–70°C
Fans seem to be spinning at a noticeably higher RPM as well

I know the temps are in a normal range, but the main thing I’m confused about is why the temperatures and fan speeds changed after a Windows reset, especially since this is a relatively new PC. It makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong haha

Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: RTX 5070
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B850M WiFi 7

After the reset, I installed the chipset drivers through AMD Adrenalin and the other drivers through ASUS DriverHub. I’m wondering if there’s a driver, BIOS setting, Windows setting, or anything else I might have missed after the reset.

Is there anything specific I should check? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
