I live in Colorado above 9000' :)

With the MO-RA in front of an open window this time of the year, it keeps water temps @ 51 to 53 fahrenheit,.. thats 12c water, add a 140mm 3000 rpm fan blowing on chipsets and that's what you get.

Living in a 35ft RV I have a very small office with it's own dedicated AC unit. The space is maybe 6' x 5' and I can close the door and turn it into a ~60F room at the right time of year. That is when the PC is coldest and idle temps can be in the teens and low 20's.

On a normal day, with the door open and the RV around 72F idle temps are closer to 30C CPU & 25C GPU.

I have the LianLi Gallahad II 360 AIO & an i9-12900K overclocked a bit to 5.2GHz P-core 4.0GHz E-Core, 4.5GHz Ring

At a room temperature around 20°C, the CPU temperature sometimes goes to 23°C for a while.


This 23° C measurement was when the PC had been up for several hours.
In my case, this means the CPU reaches these types of temperatures >95% of the time.

I currently have 7 tabs open in the browser. Then on top of that I have a (lightweight) file manager and a (lightweight) text editor open.
If I then look in top to see how much CPU these three apps use in OpenBSD, I see that the CPU usage fluctuates between 99.9% idle and 100% idle.

I have a number of systems that idle anywhere between +2C to +20C above ambient.

It's important to note that I despise fan noise. Depending on the build, I might opt to run the fans at lower RPMs at the expense of slightly higher internal temperatures.

From the viewpoint of the best balance between acoustics and temperatures, hands down the best computer I own is my Mac mini M2 Pro. I let the machine run with the fan curves programmed by Apple engineers, folks who have Masters and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering, etc. from some of the best universities on this planet who are the authors of exciting patents like "Cooling System for Computers".

From my relatively uneducated viewpoint, I don't see much difference between a computer that idles at 28C or 48C provided I can handle their acoustic signatures.

My Mac mini M2 Pro at full blast isn't that loud. The fan runs a little higher, some of the CPU core temps max out around 97-98C, but it all seems to run without any thermal throttling. But even when idling, the fan still runs around 1700rpm but it can't be heard over typical ambient household sound at 60-70 cm away.

Idle temperatures aren't all that meaningful to me, and sensors tend to become less accurate the further they are from TjMax, but here's mine at the moment via Adrenalin.



Oddly, ever since a few BIOS updates ago (early 2024), certain software (GPU-Z, Libre Hardware Monitor, Afterburner, and maybe others) hasn't been able to read the temperatures and/or clock speeds of my CPU and/or GPU. Adrenalin and HwInfo64 seem to be the only ones that do now.

I'd say that's pretty representative of average idle though. Usually I have stuff open/active which will push those up.

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D (stock, no undervolt at all.)
CPU temperature: 37.8C
Memory: 4x dual rank DIMMs at 3,600 MHz/1,800 MHz Infinity Fabric, in case this has a small impact on CPU temperature which it probably does.
Cooling: Dark Rock Pro 4 (whatever default fan behavior that my motherboard is giving it, I just know it's always nearly silent.)
Case cooling: Fractal Arc Midi case with 2x intake fans (front) and 3x exhaust fans (rear and top), and I have the few connected to the case set at 7V so perhaps there's room for better cooling; I prefer lower noise and good enough temperatures over absolute lowest temperatures.
Ambient: ~27.5C (~81F) so it's a bit warm right now, yes. Late summer/going into autumn.

I really don't watch these things as much as some others around here probably do, but I watch them enough to get an idea of what it's doing to make sure everything isn't too far out of line.

In games, the CPU seems to typically be around the 50C, 60C, or 70C range depending on amount of cores under load. Some higher core loads/games push that into the 80C range. Cinebench is ~85C I think, and Minecraft with Distant Horizons in particular while generating LODs might be the heaviest I've seen as it pretty much has it constantly at TjMax (I never see it report that it is throttling at this point though, but it acts like my old GeForce did at 83C where when it reaches that point, it stops going higher). I've never seen anything else push it as high, not even supposed benchmarks or stress tests. A lot of people like to dismiss stress tests or all core loads and go "in real world use and games it's going to be quite a bit lower" but apparently that's not always true. The worst case scenario you've discovered your CPU encounters is ultimately what matters most. Idle is as far away from that as it gets, so ultimately idle doesn't matter to me.

Ryzen 5700x 32.5c lowest just sitting in Windows with FF open, left a couple of mins to settle, have my fan curve both for CPU and case fans all linked and set to 30% all the way up to 60c, that way when it temp hits 50c-+ as Ryzen does even when not doing much I am not hearing the fans spinning up and down constantly like it would with the default fan settings, don't have the best of fans or cooling though it is pretty much inaudible like this until I am gaming or benching which then I don't mind the noise
:p

I prefer my computer to be as quiet as reasonably possible at idle, so my fan curves look rather exponential... 100% duty is for if something goes horribly wrong thermally and I need my computer to scream at me. In-case temps are 32 acc. to the motherboard, room temp is somewhere around 24.5.

Mine are inaudible and only crank up past 60c, what are you idling as that looks high if idle even with a silent/low speed fan profile.

Firefox with a few tabs open, Voicemeeter (with an invalid audio device due to Index HMD's playback device disappearing when SteamVR isn't running, CPU util tells me it's asking for that device over and over probly), MP3 playback, Discord. The usual apps I have open while the computer's running. Mind you that's also absolute readings, not adjusted. Hence environment temps.

Oh, and uh, stock IHS, Noctua NH-U12S, Noctua NT-H2, fan TAC reading ~680 RPM. Case fans are some Pure Wings 2 140mm in the front and a 120mm in the top-rear, running even slower.

Idle temperatures aren't all that meaningful to me, and sensors tend to become less accurate the further they are from TjMax, but here's mine at the moment via Adrenalin.
I can’t tell about the sensors but in general idle temps are not telling much.
Ambient temp, background tasks, CPU cooling fan curves, CPU power settings/plan are just a few variables that can lead to very different results from system to system.
I like for example running AIO rad fans and pump to minimum at idle and slowly increase up to 50-60C. After 60 the curve is more aggressive.

At a room temperature around 18°C, the CPU temperature sometimes goes to 22°C during short time intervals.

The impression I have is that I can achieve a CPU temperature around 18°C (with low room temperatures in the winter season).

I just use sysctl to get this info on OpenBSD. This is not a specialised temperature monitor.
sysctl is a general info tool that gives extensive info on kernel, vm, network, hardware (e.g. CPU temperature), machdep, ddb and vfs.

I will investigate whether I can find a tool that gives temperatures per core on OpenBSD, like lm_sensors does on Linux systems.

No idea why it's of any importance but heck, why not?

A stable idle temperature is indicative of a cooling system's effectiveness and is crucial for maintaining a stable and durable system.
It is generally advised that idle CPU temperatures should remain well below 45 degrees Celsius for optimal longevity and efficiency.

The CPU doesn't idle completely, the load is 3%.

In OpenBSD on my system, the idle CPU usage seems to vary slightly depending on the tool I use to monitor it.

Take for example the following workload (with 5 open apps) in bspwm on OpenBSD.
Worspace 1: lightweight image viewer
Worspace 2: lightweight file manager + lightweight text editor
Worspace 3: browser with 5 tabs open
Worspace 4: terminal emulator with CPU monitoring tool

top says it is mostly 99.9% idle and very occasionally goes to 100% idle.
systat says it is mostly 100% idle and very occasionally switches to 99.9% idle.

Maybe systat is a more efficient monitoring tool than top, in the sense that systat might use less CPU than top.
