Your idle temp reading stays low, but it spikes when you run games or apps like Sony Vegas or Minecraft. The best I’ve seen is around 85°F. Task Manager shows CPU throttling to 3GHz even when idle, which might be contributing to the issue.

It's clear something is happening. 29% isn't a sign of inactivity. You'll need to investigate further to understand the cause. Your readings are within the typical range.

Idle levels are acceptable, with 85 being the maximum observed so far. Temperatures above 90°F become problematic, but 85 remains suitable for the highest readings recorded.
