hey i have a core 2 quad Q9300 cpu and a spire SP985S1-V2 cpu cooler. is this cpu cooler good enough. the minimum temperature on the 4 cores are
53 44 41 46 degrees celsius
and the maximum temperature while playing battlefield 3 is
68 60 58 62 degrees celsius. i used real temp for this . is this normal or not and will this cpu cooler still be good enough when playing games like bioshock infinite and other new games
 
Solution
Your temperatures are nominal. Older gen cpu chips ran hot.
Not to worry.
If a cpu gets too hot, it will downclock or even shut off to protect itself.
