Custom Computer at 70C While Gaming (Is it a bad thing?)
A couple months ago I build my first computer and so far everything has been great. But since the weather has gotten warmer (I live in Buffalo) Core Temp has been reporting around 70C when I am playing games (most are Steam games). Otherwise it idles around 25-30C. Is this normal?, good?, terrible? Below are my system specs.
