is razer game booster safe? I wanted to download it so my system wouldn't have as many things running while I'm gaming but I've heard that iobit is bad and that their software is malicious in that it's hard to get rid of
I've encountered no problem with some of iObit's programs, but really, gameboosters don't do you a lot of good. There was an article on Tom's about it not too long ago. If you google it, you can probably find the full stats.
That said, Razer gamebooster is completely safe... it comes from a reputable manufacturer of computer peripherals for gaming.

ok also, one more question, is 40-45 degrees celsius too hot for a cpu under load?

It seems from some quick research that your PC is operating just fine. Now, I have no idea what CPU you're using, but as this chart suggests if that's your "at-load" temperature, you should be set regardless.

I have an i5 3470 and I guess you could call it under load because I was playing blacklight retribution. anyway, I was just making sure because I built this computer yesterday and my airflow wasn't fantastic and I was just a little scared because I thought my cpu/gpu were going to burn up. but if you think I'm good i'm probably just being paranoid

If you attached a cooler of some sort - it's pretty hard to overheat your processor. If you're really concerned, just get something better than the stock one.
I understand the nervousness, hahaha, I'm still paranoid with this one but the only crashes I've suffered are from running a W8 Nvidia driver on 8.1 and bad ADB drivers for my phone. AKA: Nothing wrong with the hardware.
What I'd suggest: Read further into that link I sent for how to test overheating potential problems, and additionally, if you're concerned keep in mind that mobo manufacturers often have temperature monitoring tools for free or you can always use Everest home edition.

glad to know it's not just me
hopefully the hyper 212 evo cooler i installed will do it's job
thanks man!

Barring horrific airflow... I see no possible way you could overheat your processor with something like that from the aftermarket. Just in case it escaped because of my last edit:
1. That website I linked does have some advice on testing for overheating issues further down
2. Many mobo manufacturers make their own monitoring utilities available for free, like the Asus AI Suite. Alternatively, Everest Home Edition works too.

Well to be honest I do have bad airflow, it's mid tower case with a massive graphics card which is known for getting kind of hot, four case fans, three of which connect with four pin molex and my massive cpu heatsink fan.I tried my best to group some wires together to increase airflow and if my case fans are pointed in the right direction and do their job I think I might be ok. I am a bit worried that if I try to play planetside 2 I'll crash something though because right now, it's idle and I'm getting temperatures of about 25 degrees celsius on my cpu and 23 degrees celsius on my mainboard

Most of these have failsafes built in. If you crash it, just restart and you'll be the wiser.
I think it'll be fine frankly... though have you perhaps considered something like a closed loop cooler? They can be relatively small and are less reliant on internal airflow.

I may look into those as like I said the hyper 212 is massive
I just hope I can play games like bf4, arma 3 and planetside 2 on this pc as I spent a good deal of money on it expecting to be able to play those games and i don't want my core temps to get in the way of me getting my money's worth

No, that is perfectly fine I get that with i7-4770k with Noctua NH-C12P SE14.
