[SOLVED] Is my i5 7400 too hot while gaming?

[roskispanda]

When i play something like battlefield 1 or battlefield v (very cpu thirsty) I average on 74-77 celsius on my processor. Is it normal?

On a stock cooler? What are your ambient air temps? Might want to list your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

It is too hot for me, its not dangerously, destroyingly hot but you do not want those temps, even if you're overclocking and care about your CPU. Low 70's tops PEAK under load is what you aim for at MAX, in my opinion of course. Some ppl dont care at all and run at 80C, it will work? yes, but for how long? no doubt it will degrade faster than any running under 70c, but again, some people dont care much cause they should be switching their CPU every other year so...

That's not a usual sign for Kaby-Lake. Possibly a fault in cooling

Windows 10 64-bit
I have a prebuilt acer aspire gx-781
So I Dont really know about my psu or motherboard and dont know how to check them.

Is there a good airflow across the place you operating the PC. Room temperature also highly effecting the overall system temperature.

100% normal temps with Intel's modest cooler, just adequate enough cooling capacity to call 'adequate' (which for Intel means 'does not throttle when watching Youtube for 10 minutes', apparently), and saves them 13 cents per unit in construction costs...

Go look at the 8400's included cooler...the poor processor throttles under gaming loads after 10 minutes....
