Is hitting a temperature between 60 and 70 degrees Celsius safe while playing Battlefield V? I have an i5-6600K that I overclocked up to 4.5 GHz, and the voltage on my Core is set at 1.250 Volts. When I run Cinebench R20, it sometimes hits a mid-range 60-degree mark. But while playing games, it usually stays under 70 degrees. Actually in most games, it never gets very hot, but for some reason Battlefield V seems to get those high numbers. At what temperature should I start feeling worried during gaming? Thanks so much!

If your computer stays below 80 degrees Celsius, everything works well here. Check out this link for details on CPU temperatures.
