I have a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66GHz and when i'm playing games like sim city or the new game that came out the Forest, or Balloon Tower Defense 5 my CPU goes to about 65 degrees Celsius. I want to know if this is a good temperature or not?
 

Nothing, at first. Continued higher than speicfied max temps will eventually take a toll on the processor. But when temps get too high... say around 80C-90C... the processor will begin to "throttle" to save itself. Performance will suffer until it gets back in safe temps again.
