Hi there, i have an i5-760 with the stock cooler and my idle temps range from 47-53°C. Is that acceptable or should i just change the stock cooler for a better one and if yes, could you please suggest a cooler that would do the trick, not too expensive one? Thank you.

Idle temps are really affected by 5 things on any given cooler. Ambient temps at the case, case airflow, cleanliness of the heatsink/radiator, fans/curves, paste.
They are all relatively easy fixes. But any can contribute to higher idle temps, usually it's a combination of factors.

Yes i know. I just got this cpu and i was using a core i3-540 which was running perfectly fine. So i decided to use the same stock cooler on this one, since i don't have any other cooler on my hand though. Although i have 2 casing fans for exhaust, this cpu seems to have a bit higher temps. I guess, i'll have to change the cooler for a better one.
