Good day

I blown dust out of my pc and the temps on idle after is around 43c is that normal shouldnt it be in 30c range.I have a coolermaste hyper212x.the cpu is amd fx820 i think the cooler may not be making ok conntec.it bit loose if you barely touch it but pc repair guy said should be like that.when i play bf4 it stays at 60c.so is it anything to worry about?

There are two different temperature measurements, Core (going up to 62c or so) and Package (going up to 90c) and in either case it would start to throttle if you have got hotter than that. So you are probably within those limits and relatively safe. Processor will lt you know if you exceed them by throttling down and frame rate will drop.
No, cooler should be tight on the processor. You might have moved it a bit while cleaning so it broke the bond original paste makes between processor and cooler. Paste should be changed and made sure that cooler is tight on it.
Temps are not too high but depends which program you are measuring with. AMD Overdrive is best for AMD platform but temps at idle are notoriously inaccurate on FX processors and highest temperature under full load is what matters most.

well i have just played company of hereos 2 and did a history checker and temps never got above 60 and when playing bf4 its the same never get above 60 or just sits at 60 is that ok.its a really crappy scissor bracket to redo the thermo paste so just want to make sure if its ok to leave it for now cause maybe looking at new cooler.
