It averages 60-62C when I'm running a game. and idles at 40-42 C when I'm just running chrome
I was told by a friend that is "a bit high" but he couldn't say if it was dangerously so or not.
 
Solution
AMD overdrive is the only accurate way to measure FX series temperatures.
Thermal margin is essentially your distance from overheating.

If you are not seeing any signs of throttling, I'd not fret over it....
Everything runs 100% fine like it always has, I only noticed cause I was having issues with a fan that was dying so I checked my temps first to try and diagnose what was happening and discovered one fan was running at half speed because its motor was dying. So I replaced it and have kept monitoring no performance dips or anything yet and everything seems normal now.
