[SOLVED] Is this dangerous for my components?

[wildjake4]

So, I recently bought an MSI RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio, which is amazing, but I may have gone overkill, as my current CPU is only an i5 8600 @ 3.1GHz. I've been testing games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and been monitoring the temperatures closely. I've noticed that the temperatures for the CPU itself are around 70°C - 80°C, with its usage being at 100%. As for the GPU the temperatures, they're around 65°C - 70°C. Are these temperatures okay? I would upgrade my CPU to something like an i9 9900k, but I would then need to upgrade my motherboard (Z370-A Pro), which I really don't want to do. What's my best option?

The GPU temp is perfectly safe but the CPU temp is a bit on the warm side as 80C is the max you want that CPU at. I'm assuming your getting this temp with the stock cooler? If so then get a decent aftermarket cooler. What case do you have?

Yeah I have the simple intel cooler, my current case is the BitFenix Enso Mesh

This will work much better and does fit in your case. These are much better then the garbage cooler Intel ships with the locked CPU's.
