I just built a new computer, and I am wondering what normal temperatures for CPU should be. Using internet and simple programs it runs at about 33-38 degrees C. When playing some different games the fans will increase in RPM and the temps are about 70-80 and sometimes above 80. The CPU runs at about 40% usage, and it seems like it shouldn't be heating up so much. It has not throttled the CPU yet.

Worst case for me is I messed up the thermal paste and will have to redo it.

Specs if necessary:

CPU: i7-7700K
Cooler: Cryorig C7
Motherboard: ASUS Z270-A
others can be added if needed
