I need help with the temperatures for my CPU. At the moment, the idle temps for my 7700K is around the 38-60 c range. Full load or while gaming, it reaches up to 70-78 c and fluctuates from there. It's never at a constant high 78 c or above, it kisses mid to high 70 c here and there. It's overclocked to 4.7Ghz while using an MSI Frozr core l air cooler. Is this normal? Maybe it could be the thermal paste since I've spread the paste on the CPU instead of just placing the cooler on it? The amount of paste, I think, was okay since I went for the usual single-dot-in-the-middle. Help would be appreciated :)
