90°C on load & 30-40°C on idle

[ruet63]

so 90 is fine at max, im getting about 70 on load.

@Beer_Nontitju if i run it that hot (90c) will it shorten the lifespan of the cpu?

If you reach 90°C too frequently and/or on too long period of times (hours&hours), it will shorten it's lifespan yes. But you gotta be damn extreme to achieve that, because it has mechanisms like thermalthrottling to protect itself

@Beer_Nontitjuok so i really dont have to even worry about temperatures of my cpu if it never gets over 70?

i just mainly play games on my pc, no rendering or heavy cpu activities

No, in your case you don't have to worry at all. Your CPU will run just fine.
