Hi Guys,
Little under a year ago I got my first gaming PC with a i5-9400f (w/ stock cooler). Recently I was curious about temps and did a bit of research, it says that temps should be 30-40 degrees C for an idle CPU. When I was viewing my temps in HWmonitor and AfterBurner, I saw that when I first booted up my pc my temps would be in the low 40's. I did not think too much about an extra few degrees, but the issue was once I used my cpu to do anything(ie. chrome, gaming etc.) the temps would obviously go up to 50's and 60's, but after finishing gaming I would sit on the desktop viewing temps and they would never seem to go down below 50 degrees and they ranged from 50-65 degrees which I thought was an issue while being idle. (EDIT: Also, from when I launch the PC, CPU clock speed always seems to be 3.8-3.9+GHz. Base clock is 2.9)
Does anyone have an tips or information on why this is happening?
Thanks
