Hey guys, so I just recently built my computer with an i5 6500, and whenever I play open world games (haven't tried non-open world games yet) the temperature spikes up to 70 degrees, which makes the fan go crazy. Games like The Witcher 3 and Watch Dogs 2 really put my CPU to the test. Is this normal? The sound of the fan is making me uneasy. Thanks.

70 is fine, you can purchase an aftermarket cooler liquid or air, depends on you. It will improve surely temperatures and expand your CPUs lifespan. Nothing to worry about.
