What are normal i5-6500 Temps on Full Load with Stock Cooler?

[HughNZ]

I know this is late in the year but I finally saved enough to build my first PC capable of gaming.
.
I decided to test its temps just to see how to stock cooler performed. First I downloaded HWMonitor and tested it during skyrim special edition (played for abut 20 minutes) got about 45 degrees Celsius.

Then just to double check I downloaded Aida64. With CPU and Cache selected (over an hour of testing) I got just over 50 degrees Celsius
I then selected FPU as well and after 15minutes I got just about 53celsius.

So my question here is are these normal temps for the i5-6500 using the stock cooler with full load?
I would have expected much higher with the Stock Cooler with at least 60 degrees Celsius.
Is my CPU Normal or is something wrong with it? Is it freakishly good?

Room Temp (23-25 Degrees Celsius)
I am using a
i5-6500 (Stock Cooler)
Gigabyte Windforce OC GTX 1060 6GB
Gigabyte GA-H170-HD3 Motherboard
16GB Ram
Fractal Design 550W Edison PSU

Those are very good temps for the stock cooler under load. You obviously have good case airflow and the ambient temperature is good as well. As long as you stay under 70C, you won't have any problems. This leaves you quite a bit of thermal headroom to allow for the cooler getting dirty, high ambient temperatures, etc.

Yeah pretty normal temps. A little low but nothing to worry about I doubt. Run Prime95 v26.6 (none newer, see section 12 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html) and see what ya get.

Thank you. I am using a Phanteks P400 as my case which does look like it has good airflow.
Much appreciated

What would Prime95 v26.6 do that Aida64 isn't? If it works better then I would happily run it to check results.
Also thanks for your earlier reply!

Prime95 is just the most notorious CPU torture test there is. Using versions newer than 26.6 can produce unrealistic results and put extreme pressure on your CPU because of AVX, and you should only run the Small FFT, as memtest is better to test RAM, but if you get good temps with that you'll get good temps with anything..

Right so just tested CPU in Prime95 v26.6 Small FFT for an hour. Checked in HWMonitor throughout and had a stable 59-60 degrees Celsius. These are more realistic temperatures than the ones I was receiving in Aida64, are they not?
But anyway thank you for your time, much appreciated

Sounds about perfect to me. You have a good cooler and it's all installed and working well. Be happy now and enjoy your system
