I bought an i7-4790T second hand and I'm using a Zalman CNPS5X Performa CPU Cooler to cool it, but it's hitting about 60-68 degrees when I play tf2. i play on low graphics so a lot of load on the cpu is expected, but is this too much?
Is my cpu getting too hot?

I'm finding 71 celsius as the max temp so you might wanna be a little worried.
i probably know nothing that was just from googling around

Abrissbelow 90 degrees is safe
will I start seeing any negative effects before this or is it at that point were things start going shit?

its ok saam you always try your best and I respect that

Everything below 90 degrees celsius is a fine 'working' temperature. You won't see any negative effects until it'll hit about 95-110 depending on your cpu.

Abrissbelow 90 degrees is safe
this may be obvious to others but Celsius or Fahrenheit?
just making sure :/

celsius, if it was fahrenheit then a hot summer day would just destroy everyones cpu

When it gets to hot you will probably notice some slight performance issues.

You can always check Intel's website to see the maximum deltas for CPUs. Here's the page for your CPU.
The maximum safe temp at the IHS is 71.45c which means that the cores will likely start throttling themselves down once they reach around 90c. If your CPU temperature sensor is showing under 75c during heavy loads, you are probably OK, but you may want to look into a better cooling solution. Modern CPUs are pretty good at not being damaged from running a bit too hot, but they'll throttle down and run slowly.

as you can tell I'm an expert when it comes to basic conversion :)

AFAIK the thermal measurements are taken from diodes that are integrated into the CPU cores, correct? I don't think the temperature measured from any software is going to be measuring the temperature of the IHS.

These temperatures, if they are not getting considerably higher, are probably no problem. Lower temperatures might increase the lifetime of your components though.
