Hi, I was wondering if my cpu temps are correct. I have an Intel i7 6700k, no OC cooled with a Corsair H75. My idle temperature is just one or two degrees above ambient and during gaming I have a constant temperature between 50-60 degrees but sometimes it has peaks reaching 70 degrees or so, just for a second or two and then it goes back to normal temps.

Should I be worried about it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Well, here's all you need to know.

- 80°C and lower is the safe zone
- Your temperatures only hit 70°C

So yes, you're safe. But I can't say that confidently. This is because I don't know your load temps. What you should do is stress test your CPU for 20 minutes or so with a temp monitor running. When it's done, check the temperatures to see if they're above 80°C
