Some questions regarding AMD A10 7700K temperature my idle temp is 49 degrees celcius is this high? my cpu and gpu is on stock settings no overclocking done.

Fan is on system fan and PUMP is on cpu fan i have a Corsair H60 Liquid cooler w/ Thermal take TG2 thermal paste

Im using IntelBurn Test right now showing 78 degrees celcius temp.

Im living in Philippines so ambient temp is kinda high here idk the exact temp but its kinda hot haha.

PROCESSOR: AMD A10 - 7700K
MOBO: GIGABYTE F2A88XM - HD3
GPU: ASUS R7260X-DC2OC-2GD5
PSU: Corsair VS450
CASE: Cougar Spike

If you're using the stock thermal paste, that could be the problem. I'd start with some new thermal paste. I suggest Formula 7. It has a really high thermal conductivity for it's price (~$9)
 
I suspect your results are something like this ...

Hopefully, a (newer) revision of HWMonitor will help. Even on older chipsets/CPUs it recognizes, it tends to read warmer than AOD

According to several forums, HWMonitor is actually fairly accurate. I use the 7850K, and the 7700K won't be too much different, and the 7850K generates a lot of heat. Even with the thermal paste I suggested, it still idles around 40C, even with Overclocking turned off. Your CPU will generate less heat since you have less cores and it runs at a lower frequency, but I would still seriously consider replacing either the thermal paste or getting a new CPU cooler, just to play things safe.
