Too hot or is it ok?

I'm a little confused by Thermal Margin so here's an example from my computer.

I have an HP Envy 750-116. The CPU is an AMD A10-8750. I'm told max temp is around 70c.

I run a CPU intensive program and the CPU - as measured by HWInfo64 - climbs up to 94c! Seems hot but the fan on the factory stock CPU cooler only increases from 900 to 2300 rpm. (max seems to be around 4,000 which I almost never see)

Then I look at AMD's overdrive program. Thermal Margin is 27c on all 4 cores. That seems like a comfortable margin.

So. If this is the typical intense usage of my PC do I need a better cooler?

For Cpus the lower the better,a lower temp allows max boost clock a high temperature has the chance to damage components

If amd over drive is reading 27C, your cooler is working pretty well, max temp(tjmax) for the 8750 is 70C, so your at 70C-27C=43C. 43C is a safe temperature.

Makes sense to me! I won't worry about it unless the fan consistently hits 4,000. Thanks.
