Hey everyone,

Quick question, just rebuilt my PC on a new motherboard, what kind of idle temps should I be expecting? Currently sits around 37-40 deg, is this okay?

Any help much appreciated,

Thanks!
 
The PC has the stock fans in it and I have an Akasa Heatsink/Fan combo, I think it used to idle around 32-35 on my old board but I suppose it may also depend on the new board being an mATX and the CPU heatsinks proximity to the back fan?

Just wanted to see what kind of temps are safe, the gf was playing Sims 4 and it maxed around 55/56,

Is it worth using a program like Prime95 to test it again?
 
It's not the intel stock heatsink but the Akasa one, was trying to research some tests but didn't know what was good,

Will look at the intel burn test and the aida64

Any recommendations for AIO watercooler's?
