Fans affecting tempature

[Sqeej]

I have a i5-3570K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz

I am kinda worried about my tempatures.

When I am idle having only Steam open I get about 35c

Then when I play any game it spikes up to Round 65c-70c I am kinda worried since this is a really good CPU, I have been told I can get it much lower if i get my fans to run at max RPM at all times. But the problem i have is that my bios settings doesnt recodnize half of my fans so they are running at the stock speed, and when i try to use speedfan that doesnt work either because my motherboard isnt compatible with speedfan for some reason.

intel stock cpu fan is ok for light work. for the money look at the evo 212 or other air cooler with a back plate and a large heat sink. the best but costly units are the noc fans. when you look at them on parts picker.
swapping out the stock with an after market cooler will bring your temps down and most of these coolers do to there over sized cooling area most of the fans wont max out.

Those temperatures are fine. I don't worry too much about an Intel CPU until its above 80c.

AMD CPU's are quite different though. Most of their CPU's are listed as needing to stay below 70c. And some below 62c.
