Hey, I was worried about my i3-4160's tempitures. At idle it was from
45-55 degrees Celsius and while loading a game, the temps were from 60-70 degrees Celsius. Lastly while gaming the temps were from 62-70 degrees Celsius. What should I do. Is this fine or should I get a new cooler. Mine is a stock cooler. Thanks.
 
It's a little warm maybe given the idle temps. Best to make sure the cpu is really idle, meaning 0-1%, maybe 2% usage at most and resting for several minutes. Idle temp readings can be off. The temps you're getting aren't abnormally or dangerously hot though, 80-90c+ would be cause for concern.

So I tested it again and got 48-58 degrees Celsius about around 1% Usage. I tested the temps again to see if they were correct. 50% usage I got from 55-65 degrees Celsius. And gaming i got 67-81 degrees Celsius. Is this really bad and should I get a new cooler?
Thanks again
