My processor is the i7 6700k
I have the Cooler Master Seidon 120V V2
Idle my temperatures are 30-33 degrees,
Games like fortnite 45-50
Ranbow six seige 62 degrees
My average gaming temperature is around 60 degrees on most games, is this not too high? is it normal?

Your temperatures are perfectly normal for all non-stock Air-Cooling solutions.

If you're trying to get them lower consider a water-cooling unit such as NZXT's range of basic water-coolers or something more complex (though installation can be very tricky with advanced water-coolers).

The above-linked cooler is easy to install on a CPU. You just need to make sure your case has a spare fan-slot for you to install the attached air-cooling fan.

Regardless: 55-70 degrees is entirely normal and totally acceptable for a CPU functioning at load.

If you want to see the hottest your CPU can get, given its maximum clock speed (that's the hottest your CPU could...

Regardless: 55-70 degrees is entirely normal and totally acceptable for a CPU functioning at load.

If you want to see the hottest your CPU can get, given its maximum clock speed (that's the hottest your CPU could possibly get when functioning at its factory-configured maximum), you could download Prime95 and stress-test your CPU.

Prime95:

Either of the first-two download options depending on whether you want a 32-bit or 64-bit test.

If your CPU doesn't automatically shut-down and restart the PC during the stress-test then you know your current cooling unit is correctly installed and can handle anything you throw at the CPU.

Hope that helps.
