Great choice! It’s not as crucial as one might think to keep temperatures low, and while gaming you’re not very likely to see max temperatures. There’s a fail safe on intel CPUs at 100c (sometimes 105c), at which point they will turn themselves off to prevent damage. But really unless it makes your room uncomfortably warm, all the temperature between your current and the max of 100c can be seen as performance headroom where there’s space to squeeze out higher clock speeds. Though you won’t be getting into overlocking so not really anything you can squeeze yourself, but with “K” branded intel processors like 12600K you could.
I would however guess that you’ll be gaming comfortably around 60-80c, and mostly only see 90c+ temperatures while rendering or doing any extended high CPU workload.
Highly suggest Fan Control and Open Hardware Monitor, for controlling fans and monitoring sensors respectively :]
