So I recently built a pc with an FX-6300 and a CM 212 Evo (CPU at a max 4.2GHz)

I'm not having problems with my gpu heating up, but with my cpu it's sitting ~40c just sitting idle, I have a CM 212 Evo sitting on it so I could overclock, but this is still too high for even my liking, should I lower the overclock or no? I've heard people go up to 4.4GHz with the 212 so I was very confused to see mine suffer at 4.2...

After making this post, it for some reason dropped down to ~20c and stayed there, and then 45c after playing csgo for an hour.
