I just built a new computer out of spare parts for my dad, using an A6-5400K, Asus A88XM-A motherboard etc. I haven't installed an aftermarket cooler, so it has the stock cooler, but i noticed my idle temps are extremely high. 48 degrees celsius on Bios and 60-70 celsius on Hwmonitor! I opened up cpu-z and it said my vcore was at 1.44v is this the reason why its overheating? (I used arctic silver 5 as well for my thermal compound)
