Gaming Build Avg. Temps?

Are these safe temperatures for my cpu? I think the max operating temperature for this processor is 62 (not sure). I'm using the stock cooler. I was thinking about purchasing the thermaltake frio. Idle temp is usually between 47-50. Max temp readings are from playing Shogun 2.

His 5770 is maxing @94C.. I personally don't like anything in my PC going over 70C. Video cards are an exception but still no higher than 80C while running the most stressful app (such as furmark or heaven demo)
 
lol..

i tell people not to ask for average temps, because no one has the average room setup.

Or to be exact, there is no such thing as the average room setup.

What that means is, things like ambient, getting fresh air to your pc, and having a clean wiring job will effect your temps drastically.

Also asking other members for average temps is setting up someone like me, whose on top tier water to come and rain on the parade... :X

If the CPU max is 62ºC, you are using the stock cooler and you don't see over 59ºC according to your screenshot, then I don't see any problem.
 
Those CPU temps are fine. If your ambient jumps up in the summer, go for an aftermarket cooler to keep them in check.

However, your GPU temps seem high. 94C isn't dangerous, but for a 5770 with good case airflow that seems pretty hot unless you just finished a Furmark run. You didn't list the case you're using, so we don't know anything about your airflow, but an additional fan might help there.
 
Thanks for the replies. I'm using the cooler master scout case with two cooler master sickle flow case fans added to the side panel. Also, I haven't used any programs to increase the GPU fan speed. This is my first build and the reason why I questioned the temps.
