I've been playing Ark survival and for some reason on COUID HWMonitor It says all my cores at at 80C on the lowest and the highest

Specs
ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 Strix
Cryorig C7 CPU fan
i5-7600K

Ive never had this problem before, I've cleaned out my pc and all before I decided to check I was playing for about 4 hours and not even noticing it was that high and was just wondering if my CPU is actually at 80C+ or is CPUID Wrong? if not what may be the issue

When I first checked it said all my cores were 90C+

Try installing another program like msi afterburner and see if high temps there. Also make sure the fan is tight on all sides and has good amount of thermal paste so its not too much or too little. Another thing, the thermal paste could be old so replacing it might be helpful to. Make sure fans are spinning at a good rate like 50% and up while gaming and 20-30% on idle.

If you overclocked the cpu and your running like at max resolution with max fps, then that is typical but is still high and you do not wanna run at that temp for very long. If you haven't OC then yes that is very hot. Keep in mind that T-junction is at around 100C.

In my first post I said everything you can try in order to reduce temps. Here is my first post again:

Yes it's bad, at 80+ (depends on the sensor, if its CPU diode, cores, etc..) you will have thermal throtling (that's why you dont get tempertatures over 80) with the CPU reducing speed to generate less heat and loosing performance.

Also on the long run (not on the short, dont worry for some hours or even days working at 80s) you will decrease the lifespan of the CPU.

Personally if you are talking of a couple of days-a week at most i see not problem with it. If you are talking of weeks-months at 80s i would try to undervolt/underclock the cpu first to lower the temperature to the 70s.

Btw, double check that you havent overclock the cpu not intended with some program from the MB or whatever that you have installed recently, to overclock the cpu you dont really need a lot of steps or tinker into the bios or anything complex, install a cpu/gpu/motherboard monitoring program and click a button is sometimes all what is needed.
