Hello all, just wondering if this is something I should be worried about. I was playing AC Unity and was getting higher than normal CPU temps, I did notice the game is pretty demanding in terms of hardware, thankfully I'm running an SLI 970 configuration. So essentially should I be worried about my CPU temps idling between 60-70 degrees while under load?

Thanks In Advance,

Ooops, almost forgot

Solution
Is there really zero thermal paste between the heatsink and the cooler?

You better put some on. That will make a dramatic difference in temps.
