    Personally I would give it a week to see if the temps drop a bit.

    On my build (Frio cooler) my temps dropped by 6c after around a week of use and usually idle between 28 to 30c

    Well there is no harm in pulling the cooler off and checking the spread of the TC then clean both surfaces and re-apply and re-mount the cooler.
    how would you do that? is there a special way of cleaning it?

    ill do that after a few days maybe

    I bought an Arctic Silver kit and it works great it has a solution for getting the bulk off like Goo Gone and then a total clean solution like Acetone. Others here may have idea's on solutions that work as well or better.

    You have roughly the same ambient temperatures as me, and my i5-2500k runs at about the same temperatures on idle.
    Looks perfectly normal to me, nothing to worry about.

    I don't know to be honest, and I don't have that computer to check it at the moment.

    Well, mine is running off a custom water cooling system, but if you have a good cooling system you will be fine.
    As I said before, if those are your temperatures, those are perfectly normal.

    I wouldn't let those temps worry you in the least. Just watch for them to rise and that will likely indicate a case/fan/fin cleaning with compressed air and close the case back up !

    Ok so an update - idle temps are at 37 for CPUID and 36/37 for Core Temp 1.0

    But my concern comes when i give it a stress test with prime. only after a few seconds its running at 56-57 on core temp and 57-58 on cpuid. I still think that seems a tad hot when this is only running at stock settings, but i dont know much bout it.
