This is just a screenshot from speccy of what it usually runs at when I'm in game.

I like to play games like Aion, The Binding of Isaac, TF2, and League of Legends.
When I'm on these games my computer gets hotter, and louder. (Which is almost always because I'm always on them.)

Am I overheating? What can I do to fix it?
 
Solution
The max temp for that cpu is 90º, so no, its not overheating, but just to be safe, download HW Monitor so i can take a look at temps, clocks, and fan rpms. But it will become hotter and louder when you are gaming, if you want more silence, you need an aftermarket cooler, you can get one for something like $30.

Did you take that screenshot while playing a game? You didnt open the Clocks tap, but it doesnt matter, 76º is fine. If the cpu reaches dangerous temps it will downclock it self to dont cause any damage, and if its still going up, it will shut down itself.
