Hi guys, so lately i've noticed that my computer is very noisy and fairly hot while gaming!
I might be overreacting, but i'll let the experts on Tom's judge!
My specs is the following:
i5-4570
Gtx 770 2 GB
Windows 8
8 GB RAM
Asus z-87-A
850W psu
Coolermaster case
And i have one visible fan ( arctic f12)
I should mention, that my computer is prebuilt, so i didn't touch or assemble anything myself!
It's 8 months old, so i dont want to break my warranty!
I tried monitoring my temps
So far my idle is around 35-40 degrees celsius
and While gaming my cpu and other parts hit 55-60 degrees celsius
But i can't figure out what TMPIN0 is, sometimes it hits 75 celsius!!!!
So what is it, should i be worried!?
Also, is the temps normal?
If not, what would be a good way to cool down my system?
Water cooling, more fans, what? :) 
Any help is greatly appreciated!

It's within safe limits. It is a bit on the warmer side, but it's not a huge issue. I suggest maybe checking and seeing if the heatsink is getting clogged up with dust or not. If it is, get a can of compressed air, take your computer outside or something, and clean it out.

I don't think there's too much dust in the case, there is some, but nothing to be worried about...
I vacuum the dust filter at the bottom of the case frequently, and it never shuts down or anything!
I just wanted to know if it was dangerous or not, for my system's health :D

So how do I keep my computer cool?
I should mention, that while idle, it's completely cool. It's only during games like Skyrim, CoD Ghosts, BF4, Watch Dogs etc. IT GETS HOT :D 
What can i do about it?

You shouldn't really be throwing a vacuum cleaner on the system. It's not the best idea. I mean if you take the filters out and then vacuum them elsewhere might be alright, just avoid using it on the system itself.

As for keeping the system cool, make sure your case has proper airflow and you should be fine. As for the CPU cooler, you could get an aftermarket one if you like, but its not necessary since your chip isn't overclockable anyways.

Thanks, i found a simple solution though!
During gaming, apparently turning off VSync, makes the system use alot less power, since it only syncs 60 frames, but thanks! :D
