Is there any good monitoring software that can show me CPU utilization, temp and clocks over time? Ideally in graph form.

I'm getting slightly concerned with my CPU, specifically the temps. What concerns me is that I'm apparently sitting at 45° in idle and going up to 75° in a normal gaming load, but with fans ramping up noticeably and well above 1000RPM. I didn't check my old CPU (6850k) much for temps but I remember it was much cooler at both idle and load.

SpeedFan can do that for you too. And it also allows you to change the fan settings if necessary. But the tool is rather old now.

As for your problem, did you check the fans if their Air pathways in the cooler are clogged? It could be that the fans try to push air through them but due to clogging they can't really do so and the cooler becomes much less efficient.
