Broken temp sensors on FX-6300?

I am running a fx-6300 @3.9 and not getting temps I would expect. I have a cryorig h7 with their paste on and get ~13-15*c on idle and didn't think this was right since the idle temp is ~20*c in my room. I hit a high temp of 43*c @4.2 turbo while using prime95 in a torture test. Are these normal temps (first day with new cooler so..)?
 
Solution
FX temperature sensors are very inaccurate at low/room temps (when idle), so don't worry about that so much.

Your load temps look excellent, and over ~38C, the temperature sensors are indeed accurate.
Which software are you using to read your temps? Nothing more precise than AMD Overdrive to read your FX temps, bear in mind Overdrive will tell you the thermal margin instead of the actual temp, so if you read 10ºC it means it's at 10ºC from heating its thermal limit (72ºC max temp on FX cpus) so 72-10 = 62ºC would be the actual temp.

I am using "Open Hardware Monitor" to read my temps. It uses actual temp which also seems close to the thermal margin temps translate to on Overdrive.
