70c CPU temp in Bios

[Robm86]

just built a new PC, added a cooler master cooler but when i went into Bios it said my CPU temp was 70-73 c that is way too high isn't it?

Yes that's far too high. Is it seated properly how much compound did you use? What are your specs?

Intel i5-7600k
Msi 1070 gpu
An Asus prime z270-p
Cooler master evo

I used a pea size amount of thermal paste and i'm sure the fan is sat coorectly.

Does the area around the cooler feel hot?

No if anything it feels cool.

Just removed cpu cooler, cleaned it, add new paste, remounted it towards the back of my case and have just gone in the bios and now its at 30c is that a normal temp for bios?

I would check in windows but am currently reinstalling it lol.
