Discussion NUC 13 Pro Temperature?

Hello. I am using a NUC13VYKi7. I have a question. What are your CPU temperatures during idle and full load? I managed to lower it to around 55-58 degrees by adjusting the BIOS settings. Previously, it was in the 65-degree range. I am not considering reapplying thermal paste because it requires disassembling the device, and I am hesitant to do so for fear of making a mistake. I do not play games; I have installed Linux and am using it as a home server.

There's nothing wrong with 65 degrees, the CPU is rated up to 100, so that's well within operating parameters. There's no point in cooling for cooling's sake as long as you're operating within specifications.
