    Is my CPU overheating?


    It is at 70% and I'm not using the CPU even for video editing, etc.



    Is this a sign that my CPU is overheating or is going to overheat?

    I have not been getting any recent BSOD's and would like to know what actions I should take if this is negative :/

    Yea your Processor is above avarage, you should try to lower the temperature before it gets seriously damaged, maybe your PC needs a clean or you should get a new processor cooler.

    Is the minimum temp shown idle temp or had you just launched Core temp? If it is the idle or lowest temp your cpu goes to i would check to make sure your cpu heatsink is not full of dust and the fan is still working. I don't have any experience with Intel but believe the temp to be on the high side.
