A week ago i built my very first PC and my CPU has a temperature of 65-75 degrees celsius while playing for example Rainbow Six Siege. When i stress test my CPU using Prime95 (26.6) it gets about 82 degrees. I'm not overclocking anything, the only changes i have done myself is changing to performance mode from normal mode in my bios and changing the XMP to "Profile 1". Is this Temperature too hot or is it normal?

I have a fractal design R5 with two Fractal Design Dynamic GP-14 in the front (intakes) and one in the back (exhaust).

My CPU cooler is a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

My hardware is:
Asus Z170 pro gaming
Intel Core i7-6700k
Msi GTX 1070 Aero 8GB OC

you are getting a little higher temperatures than you should, but your case doesn't really have good airflow to be honest, I had R5 before, ASUS motherboards have problems with setting stock voltage to skylake chips so they are running hotter, I know that because I had a problem myself, but after I've set the voltage manual to 1.200v it works like a charm. Check your voltage, because if it's over 1,300v on stock or maybe even 1,400v you can set it to 1.200v and you will solve your problem.
