Alright guys, ive got a Coolermaster Seidon V2 cooling an i7 4790k which i have never overclocked. I am looking at doing a custom Curve to get a nice balance between performance and longetivity of my hardware. Noise isnt really an issue as it is never too loud and i game with headphones. In MSI command centre i have the Cpu fan as follows:
40°C @ 40%
60°C @ 60%
70°C @ 100%

Does this look reasonable, highest temps have been 63° after 1hour of squad on epic settings.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

Looks very reasonable for stock clocks. You don't have anything to worry about until you're pushing ~80'C at 100% load - although I'm sure you're not pushing it at 100% load currently. Might be worthwhile stress-testing and putting it under 100% load to see how your temps look there before contemplating any OCs.
