r/overclocking - for those who like to push their chips a little harder

Brand new build as of a few days ago. Intel 265K with an Arctic Freezer III 360mm using the included MX-6 paste.

Curious what temps should I be seeing? At idle I am sitting at 44 to 45 celsius. I decided to unzip Cinebench and install it.. it went up to 55 celsius. While playing Counter Strike 2 it went as high as 76 celsius.

I previously had an i7 11700kf with an unknown name AIO 360MM and MX-4 paste and at idle it ran about 34 celsius.

For some context if it matters.. I'm running my PC's old SSD Kingston KC3000 without installing any of the new motherboard stuff. Reason being is I had a defective MSI Spatium M570 drive in my new build, so I returned it and have a Crucial T700 coming in about a week. Then I'll install everything fresh.

Just curious if I should look into re-pasting or is this normal? If so, I'll do it when the new drive arrives.
