Is my i5-3570k temps fine?

[GuruMenace]

I do a lot of gaming and I usually average around 50-60 degrees Celsius on a gaming session. I'm using the stock intel fan and when I just browse the internet and do misc. tasks I get around 30-40 degrees average. Am I fine? Also, I'm using stock speeds.

Hello,

Those temps seem absolutely fine.

I would have thought so but someone said at load with stock fan that my core temps seem a bit hot? That didn't make sense to me. but I read that ivy bridge gets hot. But I didn't overclock mine yet and I'm not going to.

If your temps at load were at or over 70 then you might want to worry. Otherwise - IB runs hotter than SB.
