don't worry about idle temp too

many people like to compare idle temp

but they dunno the temperature sensor is not accurate at "room temperature"
intel included the sensor not for this purpose .... it's only matters at the last 5 degree celcius to tjmax which is around 95 to 105 d celcius
when too near , the cpu will throttle down from full speed ...
this is the important function of the temperature sensor , not for people to compare idle temp ... that's why got odd reading of computer colder than room temperature when they bootup

ditch HWmonitor and use HWinfo64 instead

hwmonitor developers are slow to react , exposed during august 2015 when they didn't update to cover the latest sensor reporting microchip , for months many users post on OCN forums about their cpu temperature wrong and their screenshot show HWmonitor

Yeah outside of AIDA64, SIV and HWinfo64, others tend to have problems with readouts especially from the SuperIO chip and MB sensors for quite awhile.

Some of the most accurate core temp readouts for Intel core temps are the DTS "CPU package" readout its an aggregate number representing the hottest core (IA Cores + iGPU GT Cores) at any point IIRC the hwinfo64 author Mumak mentioned. Also skylake/ex skylake users will also tell you idle temp DTS results can quite often read below ambient on idle.

But the main function is for throttling on TjMax.
