Hey guys, my friend recently made a pc for me with the parts I chose and it's been about 3 days so far with my eyes constantly on HWMonitor looking at its temperatures but the main thing that bothers me is the CPU temperature. I have a FX 6300 and its temperature is very dynamic. Usually its at 21c when idle but sometimes it goes up to 67c whenever I do something on the computer. I understand that it can get very hot when i'm putting stress on it with games but according to monitor, it reached the max of 67c when I just left the computer on with a league of legends patcher installing the game with no other programs on. I see people warning FX users to watch the temperature go over 60c because they were meant to stay under 60c even when under load. Is this something i should worry about? Should I buy an aftermarket cooler?

Specs:

CPU: AMD FX-6300 six core

GPU: AMD Radeon r7 260x oc version (I never manually overclocked it)

MB: MSI 970A-G43

CASE: Aero Cool StrikeX One

PSU: Antec vp-550f

RAM: Forgot the actual brand and name but I know its 2 sticks with 2 gb ram per stick.

HDD: WD 500gb
