What would be a comfortable temperature for an i7 3770K, mine is currently running up to 50 or a little over, which I think is actually a bit low.
Should I be reducing fan speeds to achieve say 60 as good norm and a little quieter.
Temps above are when running Fallout 4 currently.
Andi.
 
You could consider trading some cooling for lower fan speeds if you think it would improve your experience. 60 would be absolutely fine.

If your PC is already quiet enough for you, then just leave it.
 
If you don't need anymore performance then just lower your fan speeds. Otherwise, overclock the chip till it sits at a load temperature that's at the limit of what you deem acceptable.
