Basically I just tested my CPU and I don't know if my results are good.

I got the i7 6850k CPU
X99 Designare EX motherboard

Highest CPU Temperature: 64°C
Max Core Frequency: 4 GHz
Average temperature: 40°C

Is that temperature good for such specs ? I don't like the fact that it's around 40°C when I saw that it's supposed to be 30°C.
 
Solution
That's actually not that hot given that there's a slight overclock on the chip & the given TDP of it. Pretty hot on Intel chips means 80C+, 64-65C is alright.
