i recently learned intel cpus get really hot it might be worrying to much but i need confirmation that what my cpu is experiencing is either bad or completely normal now what i see is when i downloaded this cpu temp app for my pc that all my cores are at a temp of around 30 to almost 40 C my cpu is a core i7 8700k im not a computer expert in any shape or form even broke a bunch of expensive hardware putting this thing together so should i be worrying about my cpu overheating?

The 8700K is designed to withstand temps of up to 105C and will throttle to stay alive once it gets there.

PC Specs - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D - MSI B550M Mortar - 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3600 @ CL16 - ASRock RX7800XT - 660p 1TBGB & Crucial P5 1TB - Fractal Define Mini C - CM V750v2 - Windows 11 Pro

omg please use fullstops and commas when the whole paragraph is so long it burns my eyes out like eggs being fried

 

idle temperature mean nothing, what are the temperature under heavy load, say AIDA64's FPU test?

No, you should not be worried.
30-40°C are absolutly normal for a chip like that.

Under load they can even get much hotter.

 

The max allowed temperature of the 8700k (called TJmax) is 100°C and even if it hits that, it should slow itself down and in the worst case even shut down to prevent itself from damage.
