Temps are fine, don't worry about it.

 

Actually it looks like 44C idle.

What are load temps?

that's the important thing.

 

run a stress test and check your temps under load with HWinfo or your thermal monitoring program of choice.

Put it under a stress test, then we can talk.

right now at idle yes, but when i start gaming goes  right up to 60, so 60 is okay.  I added a case fan which i have exhausting on the side of my case, i only have one fan header on the mother board.  Wish i knew more about this stuff.  If 60 is okay i won't worry.

Here is a 5 minute stress test, highest temp was 68 degrees C

temps seem totally fine.

80c or more is slightly worrying

90c or more is too hot

Thank you!

One final question if the temps do exceed safe operating temps will the system tell me, or just shut down.  With my current motherboard is there any way to add additional fans seeing I only have one fan header?
