is my cpu temp normal?
is my i3 9100f temp normal it goes up to 80 - 84 degree celcius when used 100 percent with intel stock cooler and i just build this pc 5 days ago so no dust or anything and thermal paste is pre applied
Update:i reapplied thermal paste again my temp idle is 40 degrees in bios and my fan top speed is 3000 rpm so it is working my case got 3 frontal fans and no rear fan

The i3-9100F is 4 core 4 thread like older generation core i5's and base clock at 3.6gh with turbo to 4.2ghz. Although normally not exceeding 65 watts and 70C case temperature, the Intel cooler and its pre-applied paste is not very good, and often used in gaming benefits from a better cpu cooler.

test scoring 8909 and was under $100, Core i5-6600K @ 3.50GHz @ 8061
It should normally be under 71C and Intel coolers often ran into the 80's C.
Although not dangerous at that level, you could see performance throttling.
You do not state your country, and a shame to add it now, but you should consider a cpu cooler upgrade.

82c is my maximum I ever reach, I would always recommend keeping your pc at 75c or lower, try the program Afterburner from MSI, it allows you to change clockspeed, Fan speed, temperature limit, ETC
I'd slap a rear fan on the case. Heat will build up at the top of the PC case and a fan will help further dissipate that heat.
80c-84c is a bit too hot but the processor will be fine in the short term. But if you were looking at the long term then I'd suggest changing out the cooler. Intel's own engineers have said that they won't run a CPU beyond 79c and keeping the CPU below 80c has been the consensus among the hardware community for a very long time.
This more or less proves how much of a piece of junk and how outdated the Intel stock cooler is. The current cooler have an aluminum base. In the past when Intel included coolers for the "k" processors and the i7's, the stock cooler used to have a copper slug in the middle which did help.
Modern day processors have more heat density thanks to smaller and more dense transistors. Several years ago a $35 cooler like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 was enough for a 6-core i7 CPU at stock speed but now the Hyper 212 is overwhelmed by the Core i9-9900k and it can't really manage well with the i7-9700k or the i7-8700k.
It wouldn't be a terrible idea to buy an aftermarket CPU cooler, despite these processors throttling and shutting down when the temps get near 100c. I don't think you'll roll with the i3 for too long. The i3 will be good for another year or two but it's on the edge of becoming obsolete. Games and programs are beginning to catch up with the affordability of 6 and 8 core processors. The new gaming consoles will come with a downclocked Ryzen 7 CPU/APU that will have 8 cores and 16 threads, and as you know, PC games are made around Console games.
"Idle" temp is not an indicator for heat load when using the PC on a stressful program. Take another measurement during heavy use.

That's dangerous, the temp, should never go above 70C. Apparently, that cooler is either not working, or you need a bigger one.
