Hey all. I am new to computers, I was previously a strict console gamer, so my knowledge of this stuff is not so great. Anyway, I had a new computer build recently (I myself did not build it, for fear of messing something up). To make a long story short, I'm kinda worried if my CPU temp is to high.
When I am using the internet, watching YouTube, and have steam running, my temp is usually around 35-41C. But sometimes it randomly jumps to 50-55 when still doing the same stuff. Just today I left it on to download while I was at work with no games running, came home and checked, and the highest it spiked was 62C, is that bad?. When running Bio Shock Infinite on ultra i was avg about 50-67. all in all, im just wondering if those temps are to high for what I'm doing?, will it harm my CPU in the long run if they keep like that?. Sorry to sound Newbie, I'm just concerned.
Temp recorder I am using is real temp.
pc specs
Intel Core i5-4670, 3.4ghz
MB:Z97X-UD3H
GPU:AMD Radeon r9 280 OC 3GB
RAM: corsair vengence 16GB
Case: nzxt H440
Im using the stock CPU fan(i was told i dont need a aftermarket cooler since im not going to OC my cpu)
Sorry if I did not provide enough info, I apologize in advance, like I said, I'm new to this stuff
