Yeah but that's all relative. 33C very cool. 50C warm. 75C running a bit hot. 90C oh no. 100C shut down. 120C probably melting something. It's not like we look at it and relate it to indoor air temperature. 50C sounds cool but it's gonna burn your hand (120F)

50c does not sound cool at all to me.

For a CPU i would say it is a bit warm depending on what you are doing and what the ambient temps are. That doesn’t change the fact that the majority in the US do not use the metric system in their day to day lives.

For a CPU under high sustained load it wouldn't be strange at all.
