Is my new gtx 960 working properly?

I recently finished building my computer, and I'm getting decent fps at high graphics (200 in league, 40 in runescape). My point of concern is when I look in HWMonitor, my CPU temperatures go up to 60C, while my GPU sits between 50-60C, with the fans not even on since they turn on at 60. I also notice that under utilization it's only being used at around 50% max.

So my concern is if it's that's normal that my CPU is working harder than my GPU, and if there's some kind of setting to change to make it pump out more frames or work harder.

Solution
Yes your card is working correctly. It only uses 50% because the games you play aren't particularly demanding. Try playing something like GTA 5 or Witchre 3 and you will see the gpu/cpu utilization rise quite a bit.

Thanks, that 50% seemed strange to me but I guess that's normal!
