I have a 6700k with the Scythe Mugen 3 air cooler, while idling I average between 35-40, while under load/gaming I get an average of 65-75C and a max of 80-85C, is the max temp dangerous to my CPU or is it normal? It doesn't stay there it's only like that for a second or two usually, and then goes back to 65-75C
 
Solution
For the cooler that seems okay. Your idle temps are a little higher than i used to get but I live in England...But overall does not look bad, especally as you are just talking about occasional spikes to 80's
