Not sure I'm getting correct readings?

So I've just built a new rig, with a Ryzen 1700 and Asus Strix x370. Running HWiNFO64, at fully stock settings it's showing my my idle cpu temp is sitting at 20c (and can even go as low as 16c). Under full load it only peaks at 40c. That seems a lot cooler than it should be running (especially since my room is 26c)

I've seen that other people have been having similar issues when using an Asus Strix x370 and Crosshair x370 boards. It sounds like there is a potential solution to disable SenseMI Skew in the bios, but unfortunately only the Crosshair bios has this option (someone released an unofficial bios update for the Strix that adds this....but I am too wary of installing unofficial bios updates)

I've still got a few questions regarding how HWiNFO is reporting. First off, I don't have CPU Tctl and Tdie as 2 seperate settings, they are combined into 1. In most other examples people have been posted, these readings are split into 2 different items. For me they are combined (see image). I've read that Tctl is the Tdie + the offset, so I don't know if that could be causing issues. 

I also don't seem to have the DRAM Voltage listed anywhere as far as I can tell

I'd also like to understand more what the "Temperature 2/4/5/6" readings under the Motherboard category are. To me, they look much more accurate to what my CPU temp is, they raise and fall with stress tests, and look much more in line with temps I'm expecting. 

Any help would be great!
