I recently built a new pc with a noctua nh-d14, so I put like a dot of thermal paste with it. And while playing counter strike global offensive under full load it reaches 63c max. only 1 core is doing that though. Is this fine for my cpu?

Everyone was saying dont let your cpu reach over 60c. Is it fine just for 3c more?
 


Just for future reference, and any other readers, its always a good idea to also include the ambient temperature of the room to really gauge how effective the cooling is.

The temp of the room is like 69c-74c

I just want it to be at a normal temperature, I know I shouldnt worry about 63c, but is it normal for the 3570k to run at that temp?
