I've been playing DayZ extensively with this CPU and it is playable at 75fps 1080p. But i notice my msi afterburner software (I use to monitor GPU and CPU temps) is showing that my CPU is hitting 70c with task manager showing CPU utilization varying between 55% to 65% with temperatures varying between 60c and 70c depending on day or night cycles,more temp in the daytime in-game,here is my build..
MOBO: ASUS P6T (original)
CPU: I7 950 stock clocks and voltages
GPU: msi gtx 1050ti 4gb gaming X
RAM: 12Gb ddr3 1333mhz
PSU: Corsair CX 650W bronze rating
Fans: 4x Corsair af120's one front,one back,and two on the left side of the case
It doesn't normally hit 70c and maybe it's the ASUSturbo technology automatically boosting my clock speeds and voltages automatically? Because otherwise it would be sitting at 1.06 (at least when I'm over clocking to 3.25Ghz/3.45Ghz) I've recently had an issue this week on a few occasions where I'd get a blank screen or frozen screen with sound loop and no BSOD. Which I figured was from the master cooler vortex plus being strapped on too tight,I've loosened it by a quarter increment and haven't experienced a hard crash since,am running the game as I type this. I have already ran a successful memtest and chkdsk/ scannow.
Am I missing anything? Is 70c okay for this CPU?
 
(last update before responses) I check HWmonitor and it is showing that the vcore is at 1.24 and when I closed the game and cleared "min/max" on HWmonitor it jumps straight to 1.0 so maybe that explains a little
