i have a core i5 4690k, cooled by Cooler master tx3 (stock thermal paste).
-asus z97-a motherboard
-no grpahics card (yet)
-two fractal designs silent series 120mm intake fans, one cooler master sickle flow 120mm exhaust fan.
-no overclocks

so i was playing borderlands presequel on medium settings and cpu temps reached around 60 celcius, and a little past 60. Im wondering if this is a safe temperature for my cpu to be at for like 3-5 hours straight. Also, might i have installed my cpu cooler wrongly? ANd lastly, when i get a video card, will cpu temps get any cooler when gaming, compared to now?
