Is my CPU overheating?

I recently bought the i5-4670 CPU (It's locked because I don't plan to overclock) but it seems like the temperatures are waaaaay higher than any other CPU i've seen :\ When playing planetside 2 I can get up to 65 degrees. So can anyone tell me if I should be worried?

Nope. If you want to cool it down a bit, I suggest doing some cable management inside your case and making sure your PC is getting enough air. 65 degrees is nothing to worry about though.

Thanks! I can now sleep peacefully :P

That's not too bad under stress, so there's nothing to worry about.
You could also pick up a good HSF if it truly bothers you though.

You should be worrying when it gets to around 85 degrees.
What's current cooling system?

im running at 80 degres

I forgot LOL
I think it was somewhere around 30$ tho :P I figured that it shouldn't matter too much because I'm not overclocking

mine is 37C when idle, and 47 when playing planetside 2 o.o

This may be a little far-fetched but I recommend you download a program called ESET Online Scanner and run a scan. Your computer is definitely overheating but it could be that you have malicious intrusions running on your CPU/GPU.

I had a similar problem last week and it turns out that someone was mining bitcoins on my computer for a wee or so .___.

Just pick one of these up, costs 49.99, and its a closed water loop, you don't need to worry about filling it up or it leaking, and should lower your temps a lot. Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H60 CPU Cooler System LGA1150 1155 1366 1156 2011 AM2 AM3 FM1 & FM2

Noh the point was that it doesn't matter which CPU cooler I choose because it's supposed to be a "bonus" from the money I have left over but thanks anyway

Ok well if your cooling fans are priced at $30; you either got insane fans, or just purely ripped off

still need to know what cpu cooler you have

I don't know what kind of fan pricing you have in the us but in sweden if you want some good fans they're around 30$ normally
