First of all, I want my cpu to have a decent lifespan. In prime95 my pentium g3258 hovers around the low 60's and high 50's the highest average temperature is 63 degrees celcius. Are these temps decent? I've got a cooler master hyper tx3 cpu cooler, the cpu is overclocked to 4.2 GHZ.

Yes those temperatures are fine. It will only start to overheat if it reaches about 70 degrees. You don't need to worry until then. If you are worried about temperatures then buy yourself a new cpu cooler (not necessary) or increase the case fan speed or the cpu cooler fan speed, this will make the system louder but slightly cooler. I honestly don't think you need to worry though.

Hope this helps, and try not to worry too much :)
