Just finished building my pc and am currently updating windows. My CPU temp is 51 c. I just want to make sure that is a normal temp for downloading and installing updates. I heard once the thermal paste has had some time to work the temps get better but just wanting to be sure:) I am using MSI Command Center to monitor my temps.
MSI B250m Mortar
I5-7500 (stock cooler)
EVGA 1060 6GB SC
Corsair Air 240
Samsung 850 evo 250GB
EVGA 430w
 
Solution
50-60c is no concern .. be happy !
That CPU is thermally quite efficient and I wouldn't worry about anything under 70c (and even then you still have headroom).

Awesome and i am happy:) just finished updating and downloading everything! And thank you for the ease of mind:) Under load i assume anything below 75 c is good? Like if i ran prime95 for 30mins what temp should i look for to know i have a good thermal?
