CPU "normal" temp can vary due to the workload, and the manufacturer of the
control processer, and the configuration of the PC case interior, and if

PC case exterior ambient air temperature. The temp range you quoted is
normal for an idle Intel Pentium series with adequate ventilation with a
comfortable ambient air temperature.
