Idle temps too high?

Yeah, stop worrying, high temps aren't that big a deal unless its on an XBox 360... which this isnt... I'd only be worried if you are doing liquid cooling, that sounds more than reasonable for air cooling

what?!?1 That comment makes zero sense.

 

 

Yes the OP should probably worry if idle temps are at 50c.

What software are you monitoring temps with? Can you confirm your BIOS is up to date? Early BIOS's has a 20c offset applied to the CPU Tdie. But if your idle is down to 42c, I doubt that is the case.
