Idling temp around 40??

[JukeFactory]

Hey guys so I just built my first PC recently. 1800x withNzxt 52x aio Cooler. Cam software shows temps at idle from 37-47 at idle. Is this normal? I have not overclocked anything yet!

Also aio Cooler fans were replaced and are being controlled by Corsair Link software.

~30 degrees is normal for idle in my experience, not sure about 40. Perhaps there's someone who knows better than me

What are your temps when underload? that's what i'd be worried most about.

40C at idle isn't ideal, but perfectly fine.

Seems kinda hot but then again im used to intel... My 7700k idles at about 20 with my h80i v2 cooler...

 

I'd be more worried about the temps under load... Any ideas what they are?

Idle temps dont matter as much as load temps, try using Aida 64 and see what the temps are

Idle tells if your cooler is mounted correctly and working or not. Which it is. Whats your room temp?

Close all that extra software. Go into msconfig (start menu - run) and temporarily disable everything in startup and unnecessary non-Microsoft services. Use ONLY HWMonitor to read Package Temperature. A lot of software, like Ryzen Master, may actually use the CPU and prevent a truly idle situation.
