60*C is very low. It should be 72*C for the die (recommended) and 100*C is thermal shutdown

Hello everyone, I just finished my first PC build, used to to be a laptop user for 5 years, then I got sick of the low end graphics and resolution 

that's why I choosed desktop gaming, my new PC : Intel core i3 6100, 8 gigs of ddr 4 ram, mini itx Asus h110i,amd Radeon r7 360 from Asus,seasonic g450 gold, ssd 120gb, hdd 500gb, all of that in a 10 years old PC case ( I will buy the define nano s next month ), my question is: is it normal for my CPU to reach 60c while gaming, and my gpu reaches 70c ?, I'm using stock Intel cooler, and thermal paste, and I have only one case fan near the CPU as an intake under the psu ( top mounted psu )

Oh, that's normal? I have the same CPU and under gaming, it never hits 50+ degree Celsius.

What kind of game though? That is the most important variable

When I play bf4 for example the temps lock at 50, but in far cry 4 it locks at 60c, are you using the stock cooler ?

That's normal - each game puts a different load on components.

The GPU temp is normal.

The CPU temp is normal for a stock Intel cooler. If you want a bit better temps and less noise, get a small cooler such as a CM Hyper 101/T4/103 or similar.

 

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.
