God dammit these temps are too damn high , I am worried if my CPU will get burnt or something

I have an Fx 8120 and runs way to hot the idle temps when nothing is on is around 20-25 C but when i browse and stream video it is like 35-45 C and when I game it goes to a freaking 45-65 C

I cannot ,for now, purchase a CPU cooler but i will in a months time , I read somewhere that reducing the voltage of the CPU helps the cpu to stay cooler ,if anyone can guide me through the process of doing that ( I am a big noob in these things ) it will be great.

P.S - It is runnig at a stock speed that is 3.1GHz.

25 C at idle is about the best any air cooler can do. That's 77 F, average room temperature.

45-65 C is expected for full load.

Reducing voltage would help under load, but at idle you can't get any cooler without changing the cooling system. Besides, your CPU will automatically lower clock speed and voltage at idle settings.

My temps are about the same, except idle is @ high 20s. I wouldn't be too concerned about those temps, and look for a cooler in the future, If you game alot.
