My cpu temp is 60/70 degrees while idle with no tabs open. I’m a little concerned as it should be lower, but I’m not sure what to do.

Looks like its the most basic CPU cooler so that maybe one area you need to look at upgrading.

Spydertracks will put you in the right direction and if anything else maybe causing the high temps.

It’s a shame you didn’t take the advice given, that case isn’t really suitable, but certainly shouldn’t be causing such high temps.

What are you using to read temps and which value is reading 70?

My cpu temp is the one that is high. While idle it moves between 58 and 71 degrees. Low 60 mainly

I downloaded the link you’ve sent. Now the Average temp while idle is varying from 58/62 degrees so it’s not hitting 70 or the late 60’s now.

That's still a lot higher than I would like.

If you go into task manager and sort by CPU usage, is there anything using a lot of CPU power? On a new system, there will be a lot going on in the background while it installs updates and configures windows properly, so even if you're not doing anything, it may be working away quite hard.

It’s now settled into the low 50’s and late 40 when idle as I have changed what the pc was placed on. Are these temps fine?
