Your Intel i5 10400F typically reaches around 46°C at idle with a standard cooler. Improving performance can come from better case ventilation, such as intake and exhaust fans. Room temperature also plays a role; managing both will help your i5 1400F run cooler. If you can't make further adjustments, consider switching to an air cooler like the Noctua NH-U12A. I won’t recommend a liquid cooler unless you have a "K" variant of that chip. Ultimately, it’s your choice.
I have three intake and two exhaust fans. The room temperature is normal, but there are four windows in the room, and they let in a lot of air.
Regardless of your processor type, 46 is acceptable. A liquid cooler isn't essential. For CPU-heavy work that pushes you past 80, an air cooler will suffice. You likely won't require it either.
I haven't tried it myself, but based on what my clients are searching for, it looks promising! The Corsair iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX 240MM Extreme Performance ARGB Liquid appears to be a favorite among fans. You might also want to look at the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 RGB and NZXT Kraken X53.
