I finished my first build today and after letting it run for in bios for a while the CPU temp was averaging 60 degrees. I'm worried that this is way too hot. I'm using the stock heatsink.

yup too hot, thats near the thermal limit of the cpu at idle. is thermal paste applied correctly? is the heatsink properly seated? is the cpu fan running properly? do you have decent air flow in the case?
