are these normal idle temps for the 8700k my setup is as follows
cpu- not overclocked stock with mce disabled
gpu gtx 1080
Motherboard z370 Asrock k6 gaming
case fans are 2 jetflo 120's intake front of case
rear fans 2 jetflo 120s in push pull config on my corsair h80iv2

using corsair link to view my temps cpu package temp sitting idle is at 33.0C
gtx 1080 at idle is 53C
MB temps are 31-33C
ram is at 33.5/34.5C
and the rad temp is 31.7C

as I said I have no overclock just want to make sure these are normal temps for idle for my setup or what I can do to improve temps, under load can get up to 65C 100% can start to touch 68-69 at some points have my case fans set to 80% and the rad and pump to performance mode in corsair app

All looks good. i have no oclock yet and my cpu is at 27-30c with the big D15 cooler.

The only thing is the gtx 1080 temp idling at 53c. Not sure if you have the reference cooler design or aftermarket but my 1080ti is idling at 33c. Its all well within limits though (i think they hit around 85c on load)
There could be sensor/software error. Also its about 18c ambient where i am. All is good

Excellent temps all around and the GTX 1080 could be high becouse the fans only spin up after a certain temp. My GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X only spins up when temps hit around 60 degrees C...So no issues. As with fredfinks setup temps mine are also at 29 to 30 degrees C on my 8700K at idle though I have a 360mm AIO...

gtx temp seems a tad high... i have sli with gpu 1 idle at about 45 and gpu 2 at about 34 - they are right next to each other ...
but its not terrible, perhaps just double check the fan profile.
everything else is great

Okay awesome and the gtx1080 is the Asus one and it had the fans at 0rpm since it was idle it does seem to heat up but when gaming the temps on the card get up to 60 and stay there if I put the fans on manually to about 70% the temps drop down to 36c idle so not sure if the card just will let it heat up till it reaches a certain threshold while just idle at the desktop. Really appreciate the answer and thanks so much was worried that something may have been off temp wise. My first ever pc build in my own

your temps seems fine. im at 24 degrees with my i7 8700k on idle, but iv fiddled alot to get my temps low. what it looks like to me with you GPU is that the fans are set to stock settings, then will not ramp up before it reach 50degrees. I woulld suggest you make your own curve or set them to static ( to the point the accustics are accetable for you) but that is another matter. I dont care too much about accustics while gaming. Just make some new profiles and fiddle.
What you have setup for push and pull with your fans, is god all, I would prob do it different tho. going for 3 intake fans and one exhaust to get possitive preasure, this will help abit with cooloing because I think you have open airflow gpu thats sende heat arround in the machine, insted of straight out the back with closed GPU's. So what am I doing here to actually achieve posstive preassure is: higher RPM on all 3 intake fans. and lower the RPM on your exhaust, this way the exhaust cant keep up with the intake fans, so air are forced to go elsewhere, wich would be cracs and openings in your case.
This will greatly decrease of how much dust gets in. (dust also contribute to heat.
