Hello, i have an i5 3570, 650 ti boost,

while playing far cry 3 my gpu reached 63 - 66 degree c, where as the cpu: 55 - 60 degree c, and

while playing crysis 3, the gpu reached the same temperature whereas the cpu reached 72 degree c,

currently i have maxed both of them, as im gaming at a small resolution, so are these temperatures normal? at what temp should i be worried? moreover the gpu has a load of 95% throughout the game(would that affect?).
And is there a way to control/increase the cpu fan temperature, just the way i have custom fan profile for my gpu?
 
Solution
It's hard to answer based upon gaming ..... use of a standardized test let's you compare apples to apples. Download OCCT and run their GPU / CPU tests ..... Im happy below 75 on the CPU and 82 on the GPU which leaves plenty of safe headroom.

Your temperatures don't look out of the ordinary however I'd keep an eye on the cpu temperature. Personally I don't like seeing 70C for a CPU - which is why I watercool. The GPU temps look perfectly normal.
