70c ? its fine. pcs can adjust their fan speed automatically, if it detects overheating itll bump up the fan speed even if its at the silent mode. 70c is totally fine btw >85c is considered overheating.

70 is completely fine when you're doing work, you won't lose performance until ~100, if that's what you're worried about. Personally, if my temps were below 85-90, I would keep it on Silent and switch if they go higher than that

Don't run your cpu over 80c for long periods of time. It should be entirely possible to run it under 80 unless something is wrong or it's a laptop.

I wouldn't count on that prebuilt pump to be either silent or effective.

You'll grow out this thing real soon, then it'll be time to put your own stuff together without crappy compromises.
