Intel i7-7700k Temperatures and BSOD

I just completed my first pc build 3 days ago. I'm using an i7-7700k cpu. I just got an alert the other day saying my cpu was running above 80 degrees celsius while I was playing Battlefront, which seems pretty high, but with this being my first pc I'm not entirely sure what I should be looking for. I was wondering if you guys could give me some insight on temperature ranges.

Here's what I've tracked so far. At idle it runs about 36-40 degrees, but the second that I start to do anything on it, such as browsing the web or opening up a program, it jumps up to around 50-55 degrees. I tested it last night, and while playing battlefront I was consistently in between 70-75 degrees. The other things I noticed is that my cpu load never actually got that high, even when my temperatures jumped significantly.

Which brings me to my most recent problem, I wanted to test my systems temps while gaming again. I got about half way into a match, before my system froze and gave me a blue screen before restarting. I didn't notice crazy temperatures prior to the blue scree, but again it was hovering above 70 degrees. Now I'm really concerned, but I don't know if the blue screen has something to do with the cpu temperature, or something else entirely.

Help would be greatly appreciated. Here are some of my specs just in case:

Mobo: MSI z270 SLI Plus
CPU: Intel core i7-7700k
CPU Cooler: Cryorig H7
GPU: GTX 1080

CPU running at 4.5ghz and about 1.3 voltage.

Not overclocking. Everything is default.
 
Solution
If it's at default then you just simply letting the motherboard/cpu take whatever voltage it wants. Within the bios, go and set the voltage yourself whether it's in manual mode, offset or adaptive mode.
If you set in manual mode, the voltage will be static so there will be no power saving from the cpu.
Offset mode will let the motherboard/cpu handle the voltage but you can fine tune it by adding/subtracting an offset voltage.
Adaptive mode is an extension of offset mode but you can set a defined voltage when the cpu is in turbo mode.
If you do use offset and adaptive mode, you should also set a level of load line calibration.
It's still useful to have a read on the overclocking guides as it can give the knowledge to control voltage for...
