I use a program called 'core temp' to test my temperatures and it has notified me of the temperature I am getting while gaming, which is +/- 80 degrees under a cpu-heavy game (such as dayz/arma) the i7 4771 can't be overclocked and this is a pre-built pc at it is, however there's a boost mode which you can enable in the boot settings for the cpu. I enabled that to get a small boost up to 3.8 ghz per core. Should I get a better cooler? I'm not sure what fan I have right now because it's a prebuilt pc. I also installed a new gpu to replace the older one (replaced a gtx 760 with a sapphire r9 290) and the r9 290 also tends to get around +/- 90 degrees (up to max 94, a little bit overclocked, however the company said it's made to go around those temps) so my pc is one big hot mess. Is my pc in danger? Do I need to step in? Thanks!
