[SOLVED] i7 8700k High Temps Certain Games?

[thewalleprod]

I have an i7 8700k CPU with the 212 Hyper Evo Cooler, 1080 GTX card, 8GB RAM (One stick was defective) , 750W PSU EVGA+.. When playing Modern Warfare Warzone for about 20-25min HWMonitor is reporting that my max CPU temp is 65C. When I play Rainbow Six Siege for about 10-15minutes HWMonitor reports my max CPU temp is 76C. I'm kinda worried about the 76C because it seems a little too hot. I reseated the cooler, and added new thermal paste.

76° isn't bad, especially with a 212. Your still 24°C away from TJ max.
