Those look like nice idle temps. Time to move on to stage 2 and see how high they get with some gaming

37 degrees is fairly high for idle but not terrible. There also looks to be roughly 20% usage. What cooler are you using?

MrNiemo :

Yeah, i know that the GPU fan only starts spinning once the PC is under load... because atm they are not spinning, also how do i know if my fans are running at the right speed?

Im using a stock cooler atm ;/

Try with a few benches or games. That will be more accurate and relevant.

Multipack :

Yeah, im going to go onto steam and run a benchmark in a minute, will it tell me at the end how hot they get or should i just watch on my other monitor?

Either, or just use a software monitor like Afterburner to graph CPU temps when in game. Benchmarks will log temps for you. You could also use HWMonitor to check the min and max temps.

You know any free Benchmark tests i can use?

Unigen Heaven is a common gaming benchmark utility.

Altough i dont know if the GPU fans are spinning yet?

Get HWMonitor instead.

Those temps are fine, but only 8 degrees difference between idle and full load would suggest your idle is too high. Thing is, even seconds after CPU load drops (its about 25% in that s/shot) the temps will drop quickly.

Run Unigine as linked above, or Prime95 if you really want to test it to it's limits. 45 degrees is basically half as hot as it could potentially go before throttling occurs so its ok, but not an accurate 100% load reading.

Multipack :

So I get HW monitor and run it while I run Unigene? Then give you the stats that comes out on HWMonitor?

Multipack · Dec 9, 2016

Yeah thats one way, specifically to check GPU fan speeds, although Unigine itself will give you lots of stats too.
