Your CPU should handle the 71°C with jumps to 79°C, especially with game boost enabled on all cores. The stock cooler is already at 71°C and briefly reaches 79°C during intense gaming.
In the 70s, if the CPU overheats it will slow down to protect itself.
CPUs are designed to function efficiently below 100c under stress. At 100c, they will automatically slow down past 120c, and the system may power off to protect itself. If it operates near 60c during idle, there’s likely an issue.
