cpu temperature advice

[millard-17]

hi I'm just curious as to what temps are acceptable under heavy gaming I have a 6700 i7 processor with kraken X62 AIO feeding the cpu roughly around 35 but after upgrading to a new graphics card my temps have gone up a lot more to around 40-43 changed controls on kraken with upgrades to control heat to cpu just curious as to know this is not gonna cause damage to my cpu any help will be appreciated

Sounds like the temps you mentioned are idle temps. Have a look at CompuTronix's Intel Temperature Guide. Load temp is more important than idle temp.
