Are theese temperatures too high for the cpu , im using the stock cooler and Cooler Master thermal paste , also i have an r9 390 ( I know the cpu is a bottleneck ) i will upgrade soon to i5 4460 , but are theese temps too high , and the gpu hits 75 when idling at overwatch menu P.P The Ambient temperature is 28 celcius

First of all, Intel's CPU's can handle sustained 75degC core loads. They an go higher as well, but anything lower is statistically unlikely to wear out the CPU for many, many years.

The GPU is fine too. Some of t he R9-300 series hit 90degC though I don't know what "optimal" is. 75degC seems fairly cool for that GPU.

"does that mean the gpu makes the cpu go hot while gaming?"
Uh... well, the CPU will vary how much processing it does based on the type of game. Even if you had two different games that were BOTH CPU bottlenecked (not GPU) one might use 80% of your CPU and one might...

Uh... well, the CPU will vary how much processing it does based on the type of game. Even if you had two different games that were BOTH CPU bottlenecked (not GPU) one might use 80% of your CPU and one might use only 60% of your CPU.

The hottest, real-world CPU usage would be something like HANDBRAKE (video converting) using close to 100% of your CPU.

*Now when the GRAPHICS CARD gets hot the inside of the case gets hot and it's harder for the CPU fan to remove air, so yes the GPU can make the CPU hotter in that sense.

(So if it's GPU bottlenecked you pump more GPU heat into the case, but if you are CPU bottleneck the CPU may be running hotter... )

Bottom line though is there's nothing to worry about unless you want a quieter CPU fan in which case I'd get a better CPU cooler.

Ahh , i see well , another thing is im using the Deepcool Tesseract case and i barely fit the gpu inside cuz it's the long version Nitro with tri-x fans. While gaming the top of the case gets extremely hot , and on the left site there seems to be cool air going out.
