I have a AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor that came in a prebuilt pc from Cyberpower with an msi 760 socket mobo. A year later I purchased the h100i, the corsair 750w psu, and the r7 260x and installed them. My question is after I installed everything overnight and got it up and going, I tested my cpu idle temps and they were at 9 degrees celcius and after playing battlefield for a good hour the highest it got was 27 degrees on high graphics. After doing some research and reading forums I have noticed that 30 degrees is normal idle temps.

Am I not doing something right or am I actually doing "something right"? Im using the program Core Temp to get my results and is that the right software to use?

It is not very possible to have 9 degrees unless you live in a fridge.

I use hardware monitor, but there are planty of software that you can use to monitor temp.

You could jump into bios and see it first just to be safe. but forget about 9c

You would have been better off buying a hyper 212, an Evga 600b, and a better GPU, just saying. That 9c temp is not possible.
