So within the last few weeks my CPU temps have been shooting up like crazy. My system temps are all normal, usually staying in the 30s, but my CPU temps have been shooting up to 60s recently. Normally when i run a game like Overwatch for example, the highest id normally get is maybe 45 if that. Around the time the hot weather in California started, it being around 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside, my CPU temp when from being its normal 28-31 idle temp to 40-42 idle temp and simply running overwatch shot it up to 60 when running it for 30 minutes. Im just wondering if thats even ok and what may be the problem. This is my first build and so im a little nervous about it. Its been close to a year since i built this rig. I have an MSI x99A pro gaming motherboard with a i7-6800k quad core CPU along with a gtx 1060 graphics card. Its in a mid sized tower with both panels on either end able to be opened up for more airflow with 2 intake fans in the front and 1 exhaust fan in the back that came with the case. I also have a corsair h100i v2 liquid cooler installed. I dont have the rig crammed and there is sufficient space for airflow. This really didnt happen until the weather started getting hot and my room temperature as a result. I built my rig in the fall of last year around october so i had it running normally with the cool temperatures outside and in my room. Im just a little worried and any help would be appreciated!
I can also provide pictures of my rig if need be
