CPU temps to hot?

[colescottFTW]

I was playing RO2, and my temps rose to these after just 10 minutes. Is this bad?

Intel I5-3570k


Also why does it say i have an Intel 'Genuine Processor', but i have an i-5

The highs is what the cpu was at, before i closed RO2.

52?

That's nothing.

Worry at 70.

Max seems to be 73-78 for the different cores. Which is on the toasty side.

OP, what cooler are you using? Might want to clean it or you might need a better one.

Didn't see, could barely read it. Good call.

Look at the high temps. They all were 70. I just turned off the game, and the temps went down.

I'm using a stock cooler, and good thermal paste. I just put my PC back together a week ago, from a RMA return.

With a stock cooler those temps aren't surprising. They're not bad temperatures, but it doesn't give you much headroom before ~80c when you should worry.

If I were you I'd pick up a better cooler if you want to knock the temps down. Stock coolers are a bad joke, and built very cheaply.

A CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO is a good cheap air cooler for the money.

Stock cooler works great for a workstation, but not for gaming. You'll need something that can handle keeping the temperatures in the low 50's. That cooler should make a huge impact.

A Hyper 212 EVO if it fits is a great choice to bring down those temps but those temps aren't bad at all in my opinion!
