Question I9 9900k temperatures

[HerEyeSin]

So I just got a pc and I have the i9 9900k. What kind of temps should I be worried about ? As of now I’m around 68(C)

What case and cooler?
Overclocked?
68c, idle or full load temps?

Lian dynamic case thermal take 360mm liquid cooler and while playing rainbow 6 and other games it’ll be 70C max and min is like 35

Seems ok, average.

68C is not bad, IMO, as even my 7700K hits 68C in gaming at 4.7 GHz...(for reference, my 7700K hits 78C in in Priime95/small FFTs; the default 'blended' will typically be ~4C less at 74C, and, even CPU-z/bench/'stress CPU' hits 68C, roughly the highest peak temp normally seen in gaming...

If you want a true worst case thermal test, launch HWmonitor, then Prim95 v26.6)/small FFTs for even 15 minutes...; most folks are hitting 85-90C here, which makes 68C seem quite cool...
