intel quad2 Overheating

[RauloAST]

hey guy, is tis normal to have 38C temperature at computer being idle ?
plus if i am using brand new liquid cooling ?

Yes, liquid cooling will not affect idle temps, unless you were getting like 30C idle temps w/o AIO, you're all good.

i would not even call that overheating

Well a while ago, i used to get 16C when pc was idle, but im kind of scared to play any online games like smite or whatever, because sometimes when i turn on my computer it gives me a pop up message that i had failure in previous overclocking, but i never overclock my cpu, because i dont feel like it.
and if i do any activity like watching movie online or so temperature goes up to 40+ Celsius.

usually, a warning of failed OC comes up when your pc fails to boot 3(or 4? not sure) times. that is a safety feature where it will revert bios settings to default (so you could boot). not sure if there are other instances where it will pop up

I'd just reset my BIOS, if the msg comes and you haven't OCed.
