Yep. If it's summer, that's pretty normal. You only have to worry once it hits 90-ish, that'll start to impact performance. If you're worried, you can by Cooling Pads for laptops and they're not too expensive.

It's no where near hot; it's normal as can be.
Nothing to even look at unless it's hitting 90*C+

This is just at idle right? When you're on the desktop and have nothing open?
It is definitely VERY high for that.

Even the worst cooling ones would only run 50C at idle.

What processor do you have in there? Right click on my computer and goto properties and it will tell you.

This is the official specifications page for your processor, on Intel's website (the company that made your processor).

Scroll down to where it says "Package Specifications", and see where it says "Tjunction - 90c". Your processor is rated for maximum 90c temperatures. 70c is perfectly normal and well within normal operating parameters.

If the temps were an issue, you'd know cause there would be seriously degraded performance as a result of thermal-throttling.

The temperature is pretty high for idle

Just cause you aren't clicking around doesn't make the PC "idle"
Idle = no internet and nothing running in the background.

Anything running could potentially use the CPU/RAM at any time; which can easily have a Laptop hitting 80*C easy doing certain tasks.
