What is my IDLE temperature?

[hbcao2004]

1. I closed down all the program down and waited 10 minutes for the temperature to settle. After 10 minutes, CPU temperature = 38C, Motherboard=30C, under the room temperature of 22.5C. (both MBM2 and Asus Probe 2 showed the samething)

2. I restarted the computer immediately and went into bios.

3. CPU=44C, Motherboard=30C, under the room temperature of 22.5C. (this is the temperature of the CPU and the motherboard according to bios, and it is immediately after the restart)

4. I stayed in bios for a couple of minutes.
after 25 second, CPU=45C
after 40 second, CPU=46C
after 50 second, CPU=47C
after 95 second, CPU=48C
after 128 second, CPU=49C
after 220 second, CPU=50C
after 300 second, CPU=51C
after 430 second, CPU=52C

Motherboard temperature didn't change, still 30C. CPU temperature stays at 52C after 430 second.

So, what is my IDLE temperature? 38C? 45C? 52C? Please answer me! Thank you.

Re: What is my IDLE temperature?

When you're in the BIOS I believe your CPU runs at 100%, so you're idle should be 38 degrees and your max temp 52 degrees. Both of which are good.
