i have just bought a new pc and im pretty sure that my cpu is getting way to hot my idle temps are about 30-40C and when i have played a game like farcry 4 for an hour i got a max temp on about 85C!!!

i got an intel stock cooler.... i now its pretty crappy for an i7 cpu but im still wondering why i got such high temps.

Temps are recorded white both core temp and open hardware monitor
I hope you guys now whats wrong...
