Weird Overheating Problem

I have a h50-50 desktop.

I recently added a 500 W power supply and a EVGA 1050 to into it.

I have a AMD 10-7800 CPU

I never checked my temperature before I upgraded but thought it would be a good idea to check after the installation.

I downloaded pririform speccy to check the temperature and this is the averages for the heat-

CPU- 60C° (but sometimes will sit at 47C°) this 60C° will be there even when idle. Most I have ever seen is 68C°. As I'm writing this the temperature is barley even going over 55C°.

Motherboard- 30C°

GPU- 20C°

Storage- 30C°

I don't understand how the CPU can be so high yet everything else so low.

At what temperatures should I be worried about my CPU? I already have a fan in there but it's just a little one.

I also have a fan from me PSU and my GPU. 3 fans shouldn't be allowing 60C°

Thermal margin is how much room you have left. If you figure 0 as being the absolute maximum, a negative number meaning you have now gone over the cpu heat limit, any positive number is good, the higher the better.

Yes, Afterburner has a cpu temp, it has settings for all kinds of things such as ram usage, vram usage, gpu speeds, temps, cpu speeds, temps, even hdd/ssd speeds etc.

Those both don't give a temperature.

But AMD overdrive does give a thermal Margin.
Mine is around 60-70 °C...

Is that good?
