50 degrees C is not normal for idle temps...Low to mid 30's c is normal. What CPU cooler are you using? I would re-install the CPU cooler. Even the standard CPU cooler from Intel should not be giving you those idle temps...

Better yet, if it is the standard cooler buy something a little better like a Hyper 212..anything is better than the standard cpu cooler that Intel provides.

My computer has a cooling solution soldered on. I just want to know if it is worth buying a new mobo, ram, and power supply
