Hi i build myself a gaming pc and today i was looking at the temperature of my cores and they are between 35-40 degrees without gaming and 40-45 degrees with gaming. Is this normal? Or should i worry?

specs:
i5-4670k
gigabyte gtx780 windforce
cooler: hyper evo 212

Thanks

Those temps are perfectly fine, a lot of the time you will need to worry more about load temps than idle temps. For example your stock intel cooler can keep you idling at 35c then you install a hyper 212 evo and that also has you idling at 35c and people get almost upset because they expect it to be lower but what really matters it that under heavy load the intel stock cooler might run you up to 60-65c while the hyper 212 evo keeps you at a decent 48C for example and thats what really matters.
