I don't really have much to say, I am just wondering if the cpu can be to cold? Mine is 20-27C all the time, even when I am gaming. Just wondering if something is wrong

Possible, but this is a rare issue. Not saying it can't be happening to you, but I'd like to investigate other software first.

Please uninstall HW Info, I've never had much luck with it.

Since you have an Intel CPU, I would recommend CoreTemp. CoreTemp official download link.

Make sure you uninstall HW Info before expecting CoreTemp to behave predictably.
Scientifically speaking...yes the cpu can get too cold to boot. But this only happens under extreme cooling LN2 or dry ice. (some people are even using liquid helium) Some motherboard manufacturers even include a jumper or switch on the board that changes how the boot operates at ultra low temperatures to allow the CPU to overcome this low temp issue. All of that happens at well below freezing, your PC is just comfortably cool.

Like grana92 said that doesn't sound like the CPU temp. It looks more like ambient temp. So perhaps that is the case temp or potentially a SSD/HDD temp. The CPU package I would expect to be running at least over 30c under load. Unless you have an oversized or otherwise extreme cooling system for your PC.
 


Going under 0C can create strange behavior and no-boot situations, but as said above, you'll only reach these temps when using exotic coolants and custom designed boilers.

20-27C even at load? This is impossible in stock situations. Are you using an aftermarket cooler?

^ I don't think so too xD
I have a stock fan and this really worries me.. But I am starting to think/hope it's just something wrong with whatever takes the temp.. Is that possible?
