AMD FX 6300 temperature?

My AMD FX 6300 CPU is running at idle at about 30 - 40 degrees Celsius but when I'm running any game it goes up to about 70 - 85 degrees. I know that the recommended temp from AMD is 65 degrees so this isn't ok, is it? If it isn't ok why is it like this and what can I do about it. I am using the stock AMD cooler and my PC is built in an old acer aspire case from a old 2008 just bought form a shop build PC, I can feel the metal case get hot when playing a game especially near where the power supply is. Thanks for replies in advance!

It quite normal to go up 85 Degrees on a Stock Cooler.

Still not recommended to be at that high.

Get a third party cooler, maybe a bigger case.

(Will help more when on a PC, mobile typing isnt my thing)

Stock coolers are always bad, which is why I don't get why they even bother or put in a better cooler.

Actually, Stock Cooler is designed to cool CPU that's not overclocked, well it can handle very mild overclock.

But if it doesn't cool your CPU properly then getting aftermarket cooler is recommended.
