During the PC assembly phase, when you check the BIOS and examine the CPU and GPU status before installing the motherboard, are they running at 50 or 100 percent load? This video discusses the timing of pre-assembly tests and ideal temperatures for CPUs and GPUs.

The idle temps in bios represent the lowest possible load, usually ranging from 0 to 10%. Providing the actual temperatures would be more useful than specifying the load percentage. Could you share your bios readings?

You're asking about the meaning of the word "idle." The confusion likely comes from its definition on Merriam-Webster, which describes it as a state where your PC is just sitting on the desktop without running any application. In reality, most modern systems still have background processes active, so it's rarely truly idle. If the computer is only in BIOS and no OS is running, it comes closest to being idle because those startup programs won't interfere.

The Reddit thread applies only to Intel chips from four years prior, and even then 85C performs well under full load. Turn on your PC, enter BIOS, pause for two minutes, record temperatures, then boot Windows. Install HWinfo64, verify temperatures, run Cinebench for five minutes, check temps again, and finally share your PC details along with the readings.
