I've been playing The Witcher 2 and Rise of The Tomb Raider. My CPU and GPU are running at 65C-68C during game play. Is this too hot?
I have:
AMD FX 8350
Cryorig H7 with push/pull fan config.
ATI Radeon R9 380
Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0
16G Corsair Vengeance RAM
Thanks for your help.

HWMonitor and Core Temp don't seem to get accurate readings of the temperature on that processor. The best way to monitor the temperature is with AMD Overdrive. It will give you a "thermal margin" instead of an actual temperature reading. The way the thermal margin reading works is it works down, so 60 is cool and 0 is basically max temp. When(if) it gets to 0 the processor will throttle until it gets back above zero. Mine usually doesn't get below 10 with my cooler master hyper 212 evo in a pull configuration.

well, if it's your socket temp. It's okay I think? (socket is known to max out around 72) that'd put the cpu itself in the the general 10 degrees or so cooler than socket temp. and that's likely the case, since it'd probably lock it's ass down at 1300-1400mhz at 65 degrees.
