Ok, I'm paranoid about frying my pcu while gaming so I have a few questions to ask.

1. My idle temp is between 26-32c with my room temp at 66-68 degree's, I will be moving out soon and won't be able to run AC in here like I do now, so I'm sure temps will rise. When I start gaming my temps go up to 60c sometimes 65c depending on the game. Is that normal?

2. I've looked up upgrading from h60 to h80i, is it worth it? I've read its not much of an upgrade.

I'm currently running my pcu stock at 4.0ghz not over clocking at all, not interested in pushing limits.

I'm currently running my fans all at 80% speed and still hit 60-65c

I've read other threads about h60's and i7-4790k's and people asking if they've applied thermal paste correctly. To answer that: Yes I have.

Your temps are perfectly fine on a 4790k, as they run hot. I personally run a 4790k on a h80i gt and at 80-100 load I am at 50-60 degrees celcius overclocked to 4.6 on default voltage. An upgrade to your cooler isn't really necessary as I see it, unless a few degrees are important to you.
