In need of some education as I think I have overloaded my brain trying to read on google to many results and different things.

Can anyone tell me what normal idle temps should roughly be around on my hardware (see Sig) I understand there may be factors like how cool is the case is it in the open or a confined space etc.

During idle there is not much going on except for maybe a YouTube video and some background processes - I realize this will change when I am gaming.

I just want to start monitoring my temps to make sure they are safe and withing reason - If anything goes wrong I can go back and look at what maxed out.

I tried setting up rainwater last night on my 2nd monitor so I could easily have my eye on everything whilst gaming but it didn't go to well trying to run it with Hwinfo I could not get my CPU and GPU to show.

What do you guys recommend for safe temps and monitoring software?
 
That Aida looks really informative - I would like to see things like RAM GPU usage as well not limited to just temps - Thanks I might check this out tonight.

My GPU was idling warmer than my CPU - I think my CPU was around 30 odd but cant confirm since I couldn't get the tools to work correctly.
