Normal CPU Temps With Stock Cooling?

[BasedGod]

So I built My first rig today and just wanted to se if the temp for my cpu was normal. It's an fx-8320, not oc, with stock and cooling, and when I enter the Bios, it says 43 Celcius, or sometimes 46 Celcius. Just wanted to know if this was normal, or if I did do something wrong. I did wipe off the stock stock heatsink Thermal Compound with Isopropyl Alcohol, because It dried because I tested it and took it apart and traveled with the parts. I also want to know a program to check my temps while not in the bis. Tried downloading CPU-Z but it downloaded something else every time. Any Links?

43 to 46C is normal, my 5800K even idle at 50C

That's pretty bad, but with this laptop it idles at 46 as well.

50C idle? WHAT!? Are you sure your heatsink is secured? That is way above normal. No processor should idle more than like 40C. Most of what I have seen idle @ 32-38C.

What brand of thermal paste did you replace it with? How much did you put? Did you spread it out before hand? What is your CPU cooler? That is a HIGH idle temp if not overclocked.

Most of the time it idles at 43, I've only seen 46 once. I installed it correctly, I used the pea method for thermal compound hope I didn't mess up. It is stock cooling btw. I also ran it all of today with a couple restarts and no games and it stayed that way

You failed to mention you were running on a stock cooler. That is normal for a stock cooler. Also the thermal paste is fine. Get a Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler.
