What is a good idle cpu temp?

A good idle CPU temperature depends on several factors, including your specific CPU model, ambient room temperature, and the cooling solution you're using. However, here's a general guideline:

Generally, an Idle%20CPU%20Temperature between 30°C and 50°C (86°F and 122°F) is considered normal and acceptable.

  • Ideal: 30°C - 40°C (86°F - 104°F) - This indicates excellent cooling and is often achievable with high-end air coolers or liquid coolers.

  • Acceptable: 40°C - 50°C (104°F - 122°F) - This is a typical range for most CPUs with stock coolers or decent aftermarket coolers.

If your CPU is consistently idling above 50°C, you may want to investigate potential issues like poor CPU%20Cooling, insufficient airflow in your case, or a need to reapply thermal paste. Consider checking the specifications for your particular CPU model. Exceeding the Maximum%20CPU%20Temperature can cause damage or reduce lifespan.
