What is the good idle temp for intel i5 4460 on idle? Is hwmonitor good ?

[laci021]

Hi, Im running sierra 10.12.4 and my cpu temp is around 38-46 c, gpu 36-40c (gtx960ti). I have stock cooler on the cpu. My cpu cooler become loud around 40.
I have two questions:
Are those temps ok for idling ? Is hwmonitor accurate?
cheers

Same here. In windows IDLE is under 38°, in Sierra IDLE is over 40°. In windows I don't often see my CPU at 60°, in Sierra it was over 70° while installing Xcode. System works fine. No crash, no freeze.

Idling at 35 to 45c is considered safe for stock cooled systems. Load temps are your main concern, especially if your system is overclocked. You're fine.
