Hi I recently download coretemp and I have a quad core i7. All of my cores are varying around 44-50 celcius when Im not playing games. It also says the tj. max is 100 celcius, but i dont know what tj max is.

44-50 degrees is pretty high for an idle temp, but you haven't given us much to go on. Which i7 CPU do you have? Are you using the stock cooler? Is it overclocked? Have you monitored the load temps?

Hi I have the i7 3770 and its not overclocked and I think im using a stock cooler as I have the alienware x51 and havent changed anything and no i havent monitored the load temps. Also in games such as far cry 3 I go all the way up to 74 Celsius.

It's a small case so it might run a little hotter but those temps are very safe, dont worry. Idle temp might be somewhat high because the fan profile is probably set in a way that the fans go faster when it exceeds a certain temperature (say somthing like 50 here) alienware does this to keep it quit.

Thanks very reassuring I was getting nervous. Just one more thing what temperature do you think would be too high
