i7 keeps going up to 70*C

[Emillionaire]

Hi, my i7 920 (2,7 ghz) keeps going up to 70*C when playing overwatch.
Its cooled by a Cooler Master TX3 Evo, and my case has a front pull fan and a back push fan.

I have tried replacing the thermal paste, but it had no effect. 

Now that CPU max temps depends on the invidual cpu, should i be afraid or is it okay? 
If not, then what can i do to improve this without spending money?

thermal paste?

Yes, post is updated now.

ambient temp?
cooler?

I do not know the ambient temperature, but i would guess on 20*C or something like that. Quite standard.
The cooler is a Cooler Master TX3 Evo. Its crap, but it was free.

70Cº really isn't that bad ya know? and it is a first gen i7 if it is still working fine now at this temp then it is gonna last 15 years.

[djboy6480]

ok then my guess would be Thermal interface(TIM) material in the CPU it self comes out of its best years. I mean its not a secret that intel and amd sometimes cheap out on ther TIM

@20C ambient temp it should be lower, but its still in a OK range

By Thermal interface material, are you referring to the thermal paste on the cpu? Because i put on some brand new 15 minutes ago. 
Will it be able to run properly on these temps?

those 920's are great overclockers had mine stable at 3.4ghz for years

My plan was also to overclock it. Got it for cheap from a friend, but the current temperature on base clock is holding me back.

I would try Delidding and replace the TIM inside. But you can damage the CPU if you are not careful! Its best to use a tool

Do i have any other options? 
Can i continue using it with the current temperature?

Linus made a video about it too. I would try this if I needed to lower my temps.

If you don't want to upgrade the cooler I guess changing the TIM would have to do.

[jools]

yep cooling is everything, get a big air cooling block like prolimatech megahalems and if you can afford it a x5690,x5680,x5670,w3690,3680,3670 cpu .the x58 chipset boards will run xeons but still not cheap enuff yet.i swapped out my 920 for a e5630 and oc'ed. its running  fine.some off these cpus are hex core lol

Which video are you referring to? 
I would really prefer not to change the TIM, as i do not have the time or money to get such tool.

I do not have any money to switch the cooler.

I don't think you can delid a 920 its a hard glue below lid not paste. just get a cheap x5640

Here you go.

or x5650 and oc the nuts off it

So continuing as currently is not an option?

[djboy6480]

would work to switch cpu if motherboard supports it.

[djboy6480]

you can still use the cpu but oc is not so great

Okay, i am satisfied with the current performance of the cpu, so i can live without overclocking it. 
Then i'll let it be as it is, as i have no money to buy another cpu. 

Thank you for all the help.
Have a nice day.
