usually when i turn on the pc the idle temp of my cpu is 45-49 degrees celsius not comfortably hot for an idle state, but when I restart the pc the idle temp becomes lower 31-35 degrees, its weird. .
I have a xfx 8200 mobo and amd 5000+ cpu.

I usually restart the pc as soon as it is enable to restart after i turned it on, if I didn't restart the 45-49 idle temp will maintain until I restart it again. The 45-49 idle temp will increase as I open more heavy applications.
even though my case is mesh type I clean it regularly every week ^^, fan speeds are just fine, I'll try to reseat the heat sink. What is the proper way of applying thermal paste?
Yeah. Less is more. You want a thin, even layer. Use something like a credit card to spread and use good quality paste, and make sure that you clean both surfaces before applying.
