So i recently built a computer for gaming and in the past couple of days i've been doing some tests with it. My main test was planetside 2. after playing it for maybe half an hour or so, I stopped midgame to use asrock extreme tuner to check my cpu temps. they read about 41-42 degrees celsius. my other test was blacklight retribution where I would play for about 20-25 minutes then check the temps. they were about the same, 41-42. when i finished playing a game my cpu temps typically will slowly go down from these temps and stop at 23-26c when idle and can get all the way down to 21c if i put the computer into sleep mode for a couple hours. now normally these temps wouldn't worry me but they do now because 1. It's cold where I live right now 2. I have four case fans in the computer that are running when I'm gaming 3. the settings on both the games are set to low (with the exception of texture quality which is set to medium-high) . 4.because when I built the pc my airflow wasn't incredible and because my gfx is known to get hot. and 5. because I have a cooler master hyper 212 evo cpu cooler. the main reason i'm worried is because next week when I get bf4 and when i start playing on high-ultra settings i'm worried my cpu (i5 3470) and the other components in my pc will get too hot. am I in the wrong being worried? or is their a real threat of overheating? by the way I don't know what difference it makes but I have and will only be playing the games in 1366x768 res.
