Don't know if this is in the right forum or not....

I'm getting blue screens now & then on my Pc and decided to check the CPU temp, I downloaded Open Hardware Monitor & Realtemp to double check. I've got The Witcher 3 running and obviously a browser session.

Open HW is reporting

Auxiliary: Value temp of 59c & 59c
System: Value temp of 86c & a Max of 95c.

I take it it's the system temp I should be looking at and I should be concerned with temps like that while gaming? I don't think the problem is s/w related as the fans are kicking some reight heat out.

When not gaming and just running a browser session it's reporting a system temp of 58c and the air flow feels nice & cool

CPU is an Intel I7 860 that was OC'd by OcUK when I got it just over 5 years ago.

I'd like to keep it running as is, would I be right in thinking of upgrading the CPU fan/heatsink?
 
The Heatsink I've got currently is an Akasa Nero that came with the build.

New thermal paste & probably a new heatsink I think.
