Hi guys! :)
I have a question.
So in CPUID HWMonitor says that my current CPU temperature is around ~50 degrees celsius and
it is on ~10% used. So i'm asking is this normal or it is too high?
The CPU is Intel Core i5 750 2,67GHz
 
That isn't "bad" per say...
With that CPU, I'd be expecting something in the 40C range at idle, no higher.
Could just need to re-apply some thermal grease to the heat sync to help it out.

Have you had that CPU for a while?
 
Hi :)
The temperature seems fine, but you could download a nice stress test program (it makes your CPU run on 100%) and leave the HWmonitor on to see the temperatures after about 20 minutes of stress testing. I have an i3-530 overclocked to 3.25 Mhz and with a aftermarket cooler the temperatures aren't going over 57°C, on idle (net surfing and similar stuff) they are at 48°C.
 


Well i've had this since August 2009 :)
