Hello, I got myself new pc and it has as cpu i5 3570k
when idle its temperature is 30-35 degrees
when im on google or fb, its around 35-40 degrees
but when im playing games it can get till 60 degrees
with prime95 its temperature could reach 70 degrees celcius
is this normal?
 
Solution
70C in Prime95 is just fine since anything below 80C on a CPU can be considered safe. You could upgrade the CPU cooling if you want to go lower, but there really is no reason to since you won't run into any stability issues at that temperature.
