High Idle Temps But Low Load Temps?

when my computer is idle my temps are around:

40c for CPU FX-8350

50c for GPU Strix 960

its summer here and is around 23c in the house

But when they are under load (running 3dmark firestrike) and tested with tomb raider bench mark as welll.

I got 60c average for fx-8350

and 63c average for 960 strix

Should I be worried about the idle temps as they are a bit high even though the load temps are generally pretty low?

Other Specs
Cooler - Corsair h60
Fans- 2x af120 pulling air at the front into the case 1x 120mm on top pushing air out of the case and radiator is pushing air out of the case also on the back of the case.
case (not sure if this would matter) NZXT S340
 
Solution
Idle temps if they are not close to full load temps is pretty inaccurate with AMD processors but may signify fan curve being set to low for idle state.
For AMD platform, AMD Overdrive is most accurate program to monitor parameters. Others, like HW Monitor may show wrong values, specially in idle state.

EDIT - Downloaded Overdrive cpu temps say 30c now which is good

Tried it with HW Monitor and Cam and they give the same temps is it worth trying overdrive?
