I have a question regarding idle CPU temperatures on my Intel i3-4330 Haswell CPU.

The product is on Newegg here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116945

The CPU idles between 30-40 degrees Celsius. When I'm gaming it gets a bit higher; I'm at school right now but I will get the specifics later. Is that idle temperature too hot? My room is on the second floor on the house and I generally keep my door shut so I suppose the room temperature is a bit higher.

I have checked out Intel's reference page and it says TJ Max is 66.? Celsius so by comparison it just seemed ( and felt ) a bit warm.

Thanks in advance!
 
Solution
30-40 is fine at idle.
Under 80C on Intel cpu is preferred, The max threshold is much higher at 105C but there will be protection measures to stop that happening.
