Take Night's suggestion with a grain of salt. I agree that you should use prime95, or any graphic intensive game and see what temperatures you get, but if it's over 70C don't worry that much. Devils Canyon cores in general run hot, I'd say an optimal temperature for that CPU under load is anywhere between 70-85C. Anything above 85C or 80C to be safe, could be cause for worry. It also depends on your cooler, are you using a stock air cooler or an aftermarket water/air cooler? Also your thermal paste could be crappy, or you aren't getting good air flow in your case (if you're using an air cooler for your CPU). Just run prime95, see what temperatures you get and then report back here and we'll help you further.

I am using stock coolerHarry Pickel said:
how about I use the benchmark software that came with my gtx 780Let me rephrase, games in general don't use that much CPU power (compared to other programs). Which program came with the 780? I feel like it would be more for benchmarking the GPU since that's what games heavily rely on. To truly test your CPU at 100% load, just use prime95 and use the Small FFT's option.

okay my cpu was at 50% load and the highest temp was 70 degrees Knowing what it is at 100% would be very helpful. If it's at 70C @ 50%, then I would assume it would be 90C+ @ 100%. I don't want to tell you to reapply/buy new thermal paste, reinstall your cooler/buy a new cooler if that's not the case.

You can start by only removing the cooler and applying some thermal paste yourself and see if that helps. Make sure you properly clean the cooler and the CPU of any old thermal paste before applying any new thermal paste. It'll cost you 10 dollars rather than 30. If you can spare the money, it's fine though.
On another note... The temperature you gave us on idle, is that in windows or in BIOS? Does the temperature in the bios correlate with the one in windows? It could simply be a wrong reading as well..
