Fine temperatures for i7 3770

[carlmart]

I have recently finished assembling my new PC, and I would like to check on the temps I'm getting. Mobo: Gigabyte Z77M-D3H CPU: i7 3770 Cooler: Corsair A50 Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8Gb. Today I run a temp test with Aida, and what I'm getting is 42C on the main package and 38-40C on the cores. On a short stress test I run with Aida it got to 60C. What I wonder is if these temps are fine and safe. The cooler is working, or things could have gone higher with the stress test. One problem I have is mobo space. As it is, the Corsair A50 blocks DDR4 memory slots, so I can only use DDR3 and DDR1. Going for a larger cooler might not be an option, and I think the Cooler Master Hyper 212 might be too big. Water cooling is not something I'd be happy with either. Another factor these days is Rio de Janeiro's summer temps, which are around 41C outside. Of course that is not the temperature on my room, but it is certainly more than 30C. Your opinions would be very welcome.

Its fine temps. They usually idle around 40C with stock cooler and gets to 80-85C under linpack load. The tjmax for the chips is 105C.

Thanks for the info. I expected a bit lower temps with this cooler than the stock one, but it's alright.
