Those readings are acceptable. Switch the monitoring tools you use so temperatures display in Celsius. Celsius is the common temperature scale in the PC world, no matter your location. Continuing with Fahrenheit would mean constantly translating specs, benchmarks, or talks, leading to unnecessary confusion for yourself and others.
Thank you for the suggestion. I'm avoiding C in my preferences now.
It's about getting used to expressing PC temperatures in C. Once you're comfortable with that, you don't have to think about it constantly. I tested my CPU with a new cooler and it reached 72-73°C, which was fine since I know it can handle higher temps. I didn’t need an exact Fahrenheit conversion right then, but it doesn’t matter what the number is in F.
Temperatures are tracked in Celsius, not Fahrenheit, which is why the system uses Celsius by default. This avoids confusion, as using Fahrenheit for component temperatures would add extra complexity. It's best to revert to Celsius since conversion isn't necessary.
