C2Q Q8300 temperature

[James22]

I recently got a Q8300 from a friend to play BF4 (was on a tight budget and wasn't willing to spend too much on new mobo as well etc), just wandering I think I'm running it too hot at 60-75 degrees Celsius. And about 45-55 at idle, I am using the stock Intel fan and it Isn't overclocked. Are these temperatures okay? Do i need a new fan. Looking into Cooler Master hyper TX3 evo... good enough

It's a little warm, but nothing to be overly concerned about. It would be better to have an aftermarket cooler on it. An aftermarket cooler brought down the temps on my old Q9550. Proper air flow in the case also help keep the CPU cool.
