No. That is less than ambient air temp. The problem with FX processors is that they don't read accurately at idle. They need to be under load to be read accurately by 3rd party software. The best way to monitor core temps with the Vishera CPUs is to use the newer version of AMD Over Drive. It shows Thermal Margin instead. That is the distance remaining till max temp. http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4645-amd-overdrive.html

Keep the TM in the double digits when OC'ing. Preferably above 20C. Here is a better explanation of what I mean: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2122665/understanding-temperature-amd-cpus-apus.html

Those are great idle temps. Shows that the cores are probably in the mid 20Cs. But load temps are what is more important.
