Those are pretty acceptable idle temps. I like to use CPUID HWMonitor to monitor temps when benchmarking. It monitors voltages, temps, fan speeds, etc. for just about everything--Mobo, CPU, RAM, SSDs, HDDs, case fans, and GPUs.
You should run some games and/or benchmarks for an extended period of time to really get an idea of your max temps if you want to ensure that you are adequately cooling your PC.
Are you using the thermal paste that came on the CPU cooler? Generally, the stock paste is fine, but you can see minor improvements by using a higher quality thermal paste (as long as you apply it properly). I personally like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.
