PC temps

when it comes to CPU, GPU, mobo, ect what temps what are the 'norms'?

how high is too hot?

my cpu runs 34C idle and around 57C under load.
the GPU runs 34C idle and high 50s to low 60s under load
the mobo consistently runs 20C lower than CPU

all i have in right now are stock fans and heatsinks. since i was talked out of water cooling a while ago i have two after market options that I have researched. basically, do I need them? Am I running good or ok temps or are they too high?

Those temps are good. You don't need any after market cooling.

Those temps are completely fine.

The cpu can probably withstand 65c,
and the gpu can probably withstand 80c.
