Hello I have a MSI X99 ack gaming motherboard with a intel i7 5930k cpu its cooled by a Corsair AIO H100i idle temps are between 34 to 36 degrees celsius. However i multi-box in some mmo genre games and when I'm running 12 accounts my temp rises to 50 degrees celsius.

I have for breif periods run 24 accounts and with that logged in my cpu rise to between 65 and 70 degrees celsius is this too hot?

Your CPU temperature is well in the limits. When it comes to CPUs, especially Intel ones, many people aim to keep it under 80c at maximum, and in most cases under 70c, so there's nothing to worry about.

Your CPU will start throttling at around 104c-105c, which is the 'TJMax' basically their maximum temperature before they throttle to reduce the temperature.

So 70c at maximum is definitely within the limits.

Agreeing with xFeaRDom. If you are running anything under 80c, then you are in the perfect range. Your idle temps are average and during intense gaming, it is not uncommon to hit the 70+ mark in degrees Celsius. I do think that your H100i should be keeping it slightly cooler, but everything seems normal for now. Have you been having performance issues or is this just a temp concern?
