my cpu temperature on idle and playing games

[Liam230]

hello everyone i got a question about my cpu temperatures on idle the cpu is around 43-45c Celsius on Idle and when playing games or on programs its around 50c and i downloaded a program to tell me the temps but the temps are different to what they say in the bios on Idle it says 40c but when i click on hardware monitor in bios is says 48c im getting 3 different readings and im really confused can someone help and is that normal temps for a cpu???

On stock cooling 40c idle isn't abnormal. Your case could probably use some additional fans/better airflow. Exhaust fans mainly. 50c While gaming on stock is pretty good on stock. I wouldn't have any complaints there. I think you're ok.

Temp readings from a computer will vary...the parts they use aren't expected to be as exact and consistent as say medical/scientific use.
