Upgrade your CPU for the ASUS X-470F.
Fortunately my temperatures are stable now. The CPU remains under 65°C with the water cooler, and it runs much quieter. The new GPU stays well below 75°C. Airflow could improve further to lower that temperature even more. I might consider getting the mesh front panel from NZXT if you think it helps. Thanks!
