Are these idle temps possible?

I have a corsair H105 and i am being told that there is something wrong w/ my sensors.  I am getting 15c on idle, is that impossible? It is on a i7 4820k

 

I will be very upset if so, i just got done fixing my comp and getting it to the point i like. THE TEMPS DO NOT SHOW GAMING. I get about 33-37c gaming.

 

 

My rig:
I7 4820k

msi x79 gd65
240 intel SSD
4TB SSHD

What is the ambient? In a logical unit of measurement.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

If it's -15C in your room, sure.

My room temp is 63.1F at the moment.

No, those idle temps are literally impossible, then. It cannot be cooler than the ambient temp of the room.

Use a different program, it's impossible for it to be cooler than ambient temperatures

It is highely unlikely your temps dip below ambient. Google tells me your ambient temp is around 17 C.

 

Maybe check another program(bios, CPUID) to see if those temps are registered correctly. Coretemp has some flaws

63.1°F = 17.3°C, so no it would not be possible for your CPU temperature

to be lower than ambient temperature.

 

i wouldn't worry too much about idle temps, the load temperatures are what

is verification of performance in thermal control.

Try meassuring using CPU-Z or MSI afterburner

Well that is what getting me worried. If idle is wrong, how do i know the overload is right?

You dont, so use another program xD

My MSI command center says 14c

It is literally impossible to go below ambient with your setup. If your room is not colder than you think it is, try a reboot. Check the temps in bios. If that doesnt help I think it is time to accept the sensors are malfunctioning

either the ambient temperature is incorrect or the mobo sensors are errored.

I know on some processors the temperature readings at lower temperatures are not as accurate.  Because they don't need to be.  When the temperatures go up the sensors are probably more accurate.  So at idle your temps are low enough that the sensors are not giving you accurate measurements.  But under load they are probably more accurate.  Although your load temps if they are under 40 degrees celcius is pretty low.  That is a low VID chip though it looks like so that could be right on stock clocks.
