are these temps ok?

[gferrin2012]

Hello, I am looking for a little experienced answer. I am running about 31c at idle but noticed when I am baking a scene in blender 3d my cpu temps are about 40-42c and cpu usage is only 25%. I do not have any experience with running benchmark tests, (a little leary to do just for bragging rights) and maily seeing if this is normal.

cpu: i7-3770k (4.4 ghz no voltage increased)
mobo: asrock extreme 6
cooler: evo 212
aux fans (case): 3x 200mm 1x 140mm push/pull config.
ram: 16gb crucial sport 1600
case: thermotake mk-1 vn300
gpu: evga 760 4gb ftw.

Yeah, those temperatures are absolutely fine, start worrying if they hit 80C.

To make absolutely sure you'll be safe, download and run Prime95. Run the torture test and see if the temperatures get anywhere near 80C. If they don't you have absolutely nothing to worry about

With no voltage increase it runs stable max? Or is the voltage setting on auto?

run a prime95 test on all 8 cores to cehck the temps under full load. if it's under 65-70 it's no problem.

I don't know what stable max is, but on the asrock 6 it has automatic overclock settings preset in bios, I can quickly reset to 4.0 or 4.2 but 40-41c at 25% usage seemed a little high to me, and thank you, and everyone for answering so quickly, how long does a prime 95 test take to see tangible results?

within minutes the temps should stabilize.
