I am worried my CPU gets too hot when playing No Mans Sky.
Rig: MSI A68HM-E33 Mobo
AMD Athlon X4 760k
MSI Gtx 960
8gb Ram
Ultra 600w psu

When playing the temps were 73 C-85 C as recorded by HWmonitor. People say the average should be 50-60, in that case am I way running it way too hot and should stop?

EDIT: Im now trying AMD overdrive and when i play, I get 40-50 C, but when I idle on the home screen I get random numbers in the range of 50-70 C. Is it really that hot or whats goin on
 
Solution
Ecky
Thermal margin should shrink as load increases, because it's a measure of how many degrees you have left until it's too hot. A thermal margin of 40-50c under load is great.
