i5 4670k Temperature Opinion/Question

[PcDude93]

Hey guys, I just put together my first rig and wanted to ask about my cpu's temperatures. I have an i5 4670k that is overclocked to 4.0 from its original 3.4. The heat sink I'm using is a Cool Master Hyper T4 (This thing was such a damn pain to put in because of my mobo which is a MSI Z87 G45). My question lies in if the temperatures I am getting are appropriate for what I am using and doing. Typically, this rig is meant for gaming. So for reference, I was just playing the Dolphin GameCube emulator at max settings and had YouTube in the background playing a music playlist (with the game muted of course) and had the cpu usage around 55 percent. And, with Real Temp opened, the temperatures were mostly hovering around 48-50 Degrees Celsius. This was after about an hour and a half of play. Do you guys think the temperature is appropriate for this set up? Or, should I look into either re-applying the heat-sink or if I should purchase another one entirely?

Yeah that temp is fine, just have a look how it goes at 100% load using prime 95 or something similar, if the temperature doesn't go higher than 80 Degrees its all good. I have the stock intel fan on it still and I will get about 65 degrees at 100% (keep in mind, mine isn't overclocked)
