After running OCCT for 10 minutes temperatures stay between 65-74 degress, I have it running with a Hyper 103 cooler, are these safe ? or is there any way I can decrease them?

If you can try get another intake fan, as i presume you are using a gaming pc correct? And most Gaming PCs now use atleast 3 fans i.e. 2intake 1 exhaust.
But regardless I wouldn't worry too much about those temperatures :)


That is borderline fine. The threshold is 72celsius, could be a little lower ... what is your fan setup in your system?
 


I have one intake fan at the front so it goes into the direction of the cooler and one at the top since heat rises up
