50-60 without a fan or is a fan pretty common these days? It runs 63C-65C on idle, 67-68C when in light use and it can go as high as 75-77 when a game like Star Wars Battlefront is being played. I have HWMonitor installed https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html to keep an eye on it.

I was all proud of my research & installation haha I am becoming interested in building PCs as a hobby, and for introducing my son to it. Gives him a lot of insight to see me inside his PC. I installed a PCI card yesterday that gave him UBB 3.0 ports. He currently only had USB 2. (We have a screen capture/game capture device coming that needed USB 3.0.)
