Intel i7 6700k ~70 degrees while under heavy load/gaming

[Don_60]

I've recently been paying closer attention to my system temps and noticed my CPU reaches between 67-73 degrees celcius when gaming. I have looked this up and gotten various answers, but would like to know if this is normal. -Thanks!

Yep, 100% normal, and 100% safe.
