I7 8700k Normal Temp Stock Under Load

So I was playing fortnite on maxed settings for about 2 hours and my CPU hit max 68C. All cores were using 1.2-1.3V. Is this normal under load? Or should I adjust my voltage in Bios? Using a Hyper 212 Evo cooler and to be honest my airflow isn’t that good since I only have two more stock fans on the case and that’s it. One on top of the case and one in the back.

That's a perfectly fine temp for under load. 80 is considered high and 90 is where the CPU is probably engaging thermal throttling to protect itself.

Those temps are still fine. I got my 8700k @4,7 GhZ on all cores, and i rarely reach 70c under load. I have the Dark Rock Pro 3
