I have been using an 2100 for 3 years now (Stock cooler) , till now I had a hd 6670 so I never bothered to check any temps. 4-5 days ago I bought a sapphire r9-280x vaporx. As I knew this card was very power hungry and hot card I installed HWinfo to check temps. And I noticed some rather interesting information .

On idle my gpu stays at a rather cool 35-38 Celcious but my CPU idles at 55-60 degree !!

On witcher 3 my GPU temp moves around 70-75 while my cpu moves around 72-76.

while playing fallout cpu temp even reaches 85 ! while GPU stays 75-80 .

In nicehash miner GPU reaches 80-85 while CPU revolves around 80-90 ! .

Is this normal ? Should I be worried? Whats the max safe temperature for this CPU?
P.S: After noticing these I downloaded msi afterburner to be sure off these temps and they match perfectly.
I am using thermaltake versaU-21 case with one 120 exhaust at rear one 200mm and one 120 mm intake at front. Mobo is asus h61M-K. PSU corsair 650w

according to intels own site The maximum recommended temperature for the Intel Core i3-2100 is 69.1 degrees Celsius. Usually CPU's are fine up to around 80, but i suggest you do something to add better cooling to your case. Your AMD card is making things very toasty in there.
