The main system information panel of Intel Extreme Tuning Utility provides you with all of the relevant details about your system and its hardware. Details about your CPU, GPU, RAM and vRAM in one place

It can tweak CPU settings, RAM and graphics. Intel Extreme Tuning Utility is the official overclocking application for owners of Intel CPUs and motherboards. The best way to visualize differences in workload behaviors is to observe this on utilities that have a graph, since watching just Core temperature numbers alone does not reveal the "big picture".Overclock, tune and stress a system with Intel CPUs or mainboards. You may find that your Core temperatures running CineBench or Prime95 Small FFTs might be higher than 85☌, but since you stated that your rig is primarily for gaming / streaming, the heavier of which are typically around 80% workload, that XTU as a stability test and CPU-Z Bench Stress as a thermal test may be more appropriate for your purposes. As you can see from the %TDP table shown above, Prime95 Small FFTs (No AVX) and CineBench R23 (and R20) are similar workloads that differ whereby Prime95 Small FFTs is a continuous steady-state workload, whereas CineBench pauses between rendering passes, which makes it a fluctuating workload. Even the latest games, a few of which use AVX, will not exceed Prime95 without AVX, as the AVX code used in games is less intense than the AVX code in utilities for testing stability and thermal performance.

While your screenshot shows a maximum Core temperature of 71☌ running Intel XTU, keep in mind that XTU is a fluctuating workload that's only about 80%, whereas CineBench R23, as well as R20, are about 100%, as is Prime95, Small FFTs (No AVX).

Also, keep in mind that Core temperatures increase and decrease with ambient (room) temperature, for which the International Standard for "normal" is 22☌ or 72☏.
