 Alrighty, just going to copy and paste my specs and peripherals just so you guys can have an idea of what I'm working with here. So this is my first build. The system works great but averaging an idle temperature of 34-40 degrees celsius. Also, I noticed the temp went up a degree or two once I upgraded to windows 10, but I'm not too concerned about that. I just want a great system that will run at a safe and cool temperature and run the games I want to play. I haven't benchmarked my cpu or graphics card but at the moment I'm only concerned about my cpu since the gpu doesn't even turn on the fans unless I'm playing a demanding game. Okay, now back to the cpu. So when I'm playing gta v my cpu temp is usually between 44-51 and when I play csgo it's usually between 39-47. Are all of these temperatures good and safe? is there anything I have to be worried about? Or do you recommend an upgrade on my fans or something? (currently using evo 212 and two stock fans that come with the nzxt s340 case). Also, if I could get a degree or sort of a 1-10 scale on how safe my computer temperatures are, that would be amazing. Here are my specs:

 

 

GPU : EVGA GeForce GTX 960 (Superclocked, 4GB) 
CPU : Intel Core i5 4690k Quad-Core Processor (3.5 Ghz) 
Mobo : Asus Z97-A Motherboard 
Ram : Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) 
HDD : 1TB Western Digital Blue 7200 RPM 
Case : NZXT S340 Black 

CPU Fan: Hyper Evo 212​
OS : Windows 10

Monitor 1: Asus VX228H 21.5" Monitor 
Monitor 2: Asus VX228H 21.5" Monitor 
Keyboard : Corsair K65 RGB Mechanical Keyboard 
Mouse : Corsair M65 RGB Mouse 
Headphones : Logitech G390
Other: RGB LEDs :D ​

yup,thats a normal and safe cpu temps.

 

GTA V is more demanding title than CS:GO,OFC it will run hotter.

 

If you concerned about your cpu temp,you can try a better thermal paste to improve cooling.

 

 Hyper Evo 212​ have good cooling performance

 

 Dont worry bout ur pc  :)

 

Scale - 8/10

Yes, they're absolutely fine.

 

Here's mine for example.

Your temperatures, at least the ones you gave us, are absolutely safe.

 

Just keep in mind that a CPU doesn't just instantly die if it hits 80–90°C. Excessive heat (at least to a point) usually wears slowly on components over time, causing performance and stability to degrade gradually. Most of us who have overclocked have seen our hardware hit temperatures that are too high; we simply stop the test and dial back the overclock or get a better cooling solution. The CPU is fine if we didn't run it like that for hours or days.

 

As a guideline, I prefer to keep my temperatures under 70°C at full (100%) load. I think that, technically, as long as you're under 80°C it's safe for typical use.

Like said, your temps are in normal range. You should keep in mind that they will always be above your room temp. Average between room and idle temps is 15C. Every degree room temps go up, components will go too. They may seem high, but electronics are made to take high temps. IIRC 60C is ok temp for most stuff.
