Hi guys, my i5 3570K gets up to 68 deg C when im playing elder scrolls online. I just wanted to know if this is abnormal or not? I set my fan speeds to manual because i could hear my fans speeds changing all the time and it was giving me a headache.

Are you running a stock cooler I presume? Normal but this is why people get aftermarket coolers like the hyper evo 212. Stronger and quieter. Also great for overclocking. I actually even prefer water cooling using closed loop solutions like the Corsair H80i or H100i but those are much more expensive. Just something to consider. Plus you get lower temps!
