I recently built my first PC and on the first startup, I noticed the CPU temperature was stable at 65°C while in the BIOS with a cooler installed. I'm a bit worried that this might indicate a problem. Can anyone offer guidance on whether this temperature is normal or if I should be concerned? Thanks!

For a cold start in BIOS, my CPU usually sits around 48 to 52°C. While gaming, it might spike higher, but 65°C seems a bit on the high side for idle temp. It's important to know what your room temperature is as that can affect this too. How's your cooler set up?

This is my first boot. I was just testing to make sure everything works. Should I be worried about the thermals?
