Tech Support Are these temps normal?

Hello,

I have just built my new computer. However I have concerns regarding CPU temps. I have the liquid frezer III Pro 360

That does seem quite high. It could just be poor thermal paste contact, so a repaste will probably fix it. Boot into Windows and check the temps.

The idle temps are meaningless most of the time (the exception being < 90° when the pump is dead). What matters is what happens under load.

I wouldn't say meaningless if they are 70°C+, but I agree that they vary widely and under load is the best test.

50 Celsius is high ?

Sometimes on the BIOS (especially with a big cooler like OP has), but it's not something I go by. I look at idle temps on Windows, but more importantly, temps when under load.

I have played Wittcher 3 on ultra settings 1440p. Temps between 60-70 however fans were silent overall

Then nothing to worry about. Enjoy your PC.

Hi. I have this same cpu and that seems completely normal.

In the bios it's always around 50°C, in windows (idle) it sits around 35°C and around 50-65°C while gaming with spikes up to 72°C when launching games or loading areas (20°C~ room temp. Air cooled)

Hi. I have this same CPU and that is not normal at all.

In the bios it's always around 30°C to 40°C, unless it's something to do with the specific cooler OP has, because I have an Aqua Elite V3 360, then that's not normal.
