im in the bios right now and my idle temperature is 49-51 is this bad? I've got a noctua d15 cpu cooler, its says its running at 1.168 volts also

When in bios, the system typically runs one core at 100%, resulting in higher temps.

Test your idle temps in windows using hwmonitor or some other temp monitoring software.

Not sure yet if your temps are ok. That does seem high, even for bios, hopefully you'll be better once you boot up!
