Hey there.
I really enjoy playing Arma 3, though it can be quite demanding to run smoothly. I've had to adjust settings to get by.
My i7 6700k clocking around 4.7Ghz often hits temperatures near 66°C during gameplay. Is that temperature acceptable? It doesn't consistently stay at 66°C; usually it's between 50 and 60°C when I'm playing.

At 4.7Ghz it stays under 70°C? Great! Perfect.

lucas_7_94 says it works at 4.7Ghz without overheating, and the pump on his H115i runs at 2800 rpm.
