sort of new to owning a computer whats the safe temperature

Depends on the CPU and you can quickly google it yourself.

Optimum range is 100-150C

>>725612345
this
just google stuff
everything with self build pc's is tested online and you get benchmarks and advice

what year is this?

>>725612357
this

>>725612345
thanks anons

>>725612499
had the computer for 3 months

>>725612530
Do you need help finding out which CPU you got?

>>725612239
most are 70c max some are lower. cpuid is good for checking your temp.

>>725612357
no no no

>>725612605
yea
ive no idea how to find out

mine reaches 65c

>>725612658
most cpus can safely go to 90+ C

>>725612665
If you're on windows, rightclick the start menu icon and select system.

>>725612658
Are you retarded? With newer cpu's/hyperthreading it spreads the heat among the processors

>>725612239
90 degrees celsius is fine, but anymore and it's overheating. CPU can get much hotter than the GPU and handle it.

>>725612939
thanks

>>725612239
amd can reach 200C without problem

>>725612239

I've got a cheap USB powered desk fan which I lay down on its face where my laptop feels the warmest. Ghetto solution.

I have an i3 and a Titan X and my cpu hovers around 60-70c

>>725613206
>amd
why are you heating up your garbage anon?

>>725613313
amd is better than intel and nvidia though

What year is this? 70C was max for old single core CPUs.
All modern CPUs spread heat among cores so if you have 4+ cores normal temp is about 100C-150C and you should start to worry only at about 250C.

>>725613782
What cpu do you got?

Typically thermal throttling takes place at about 85-90c. It essentially won't let you go any higher than that to protect itself from burning out.

>>725614123
AMD FX 8350 eight core

>>725613244
>Hi guis! I'm a toolbag, just look at how much better my stuff is than yours! :D

>>725614220
Only if your processor is single core.

For dual core it's ~200c and quad ~250c.

>>725614347

That's bullshit and I don't know where you got that info.

My i5 4690K hit it's thermal limit at about 85C and started throttling. That's about the standard temp for most CPUs, single, dual, quad, or octo.

>AMD FX 8350

>>725612239
All depends on the CPU, the best method I've found to determine what is an ideal temp is the following:
1. buy some thermal paste before hand( you will need this to reattach the fan.
2. Turn off your computer and open it up( make sure you static free)
3. remove the heatsink and fan assembly ( this is to break the old thermal paste)
4. Clean off the heatsink and cpu with some TIM-clean solution.
5. Once clean, place cooler back onto CPU but don't screw it in.
6. Keep tower on its side and boot it up.
7. Download Heavyload stress tester from Jam software (free software).
8. Run the test.
9. Get a stopwatch or use your phone and start it as you remove the heat sink.
10. We are waiting for your computer to blue screen, don't worry it won't break it as your computer is smart enough to turn off when it gets too hot to damage anything. Stop the timer when it blue screens.

So as a rule of thumb, if it blue screened under
<5 sec = safe temp is 85 degrees
5 - 10 sec = safe temp is 95 degrees
> 10 sec = safe temp is 100 degrees

Hope this helps anon, I know its a lot of work but its the best method to test it. You can't trust some websites out there as they give false temps.

>>725612239
Well, the melting point of silicon is roughly 1414 °C, so keep it below that.
Protip: the industry is taking advantage of computer enthusiasts with something called CPU Coolers, with a temperature range so high there is no need for such a device.

lol moron

>>725612239
the smaller the production nm is the lower the temperature needed to damage critical components, keep it below 100, should be 50 idle, unless you are a moron who applied the thermal paste wrong

>>725614730
Its so true, I can't believe they have been conning the computer enthusiasts community for so long and have gotten away with anyone reporting on it. I've found out around 2009 and since then I've ran both my Q6600 and i7 without any coolers and never had any problems. Both systems ran AAA games no problem and saved my self money in the process

>>725614970
50 idle? You call me a moron for using satire, but you use toothpaste for thermal compound?

>>725615061
I don't remember where i found the article, but Intel had said before the release of Ivy Bridge that the processor would be so efficient and cool-running that there wouldn't be a need for a cpu cooler.

Why pay more for shit that your not going to actually use? You can have $100 worth of old shit parts and slap a new gpu in there, most games run wholly dependent on gpu and the cpu intensive games do not require you have a $350 intel processor. I know 4 people off the top of my head that have a no compromise 1080p gaming system running off phenom II quad cores. Buying intel/nvidia is like buying apple products, you are keeping a sellers market alive by overpaying, just buy the cheap shit and get almost the same results with less than half the money.

>>725612345
This, the safe temperature can vary a lot.
And when it comes to laptops, it's an entirely different story.

get a fucking job
top of the line pc is literally 1/40 of an average adults yearly wage and will last 4-5 years

fucking poor fags

>>725615439
My point exactly. Idle temps should never exceed 40C.

>>725614537
>my i5
Kek fuck off gullible retard,
>im ok with paying +40-60% more for a 10% performance increase.
Amd closed the gap, they might not be on top but Price vs. Performance is a no brainer at this point.

>>725612442
What's this "Google" you speak of?

>>725615291
You need to get your shit together son, its people who scare others away from exploring their PC's in fear of breaking then. These are all pre 2000 CPU, The technology they used then are not as advance and nowadays, they changed the way they are created around 2007 to be more efficient and produce less heat. Thats why back then you needed massive coolers and they was noisy.

>>725615435
I know, right? I paid $70 for an I7-2600+motherboard combo and $50 for a GTX 580 and can play any modern game with reasonably good settings.
My bro's $800 system with an FX-8000 series cpu and GTX 960 isn't much better than mine. My I7 is a few years older and a few points better than his CPU (passmark), and his gpu is only a few hundred points on top (passmark).

>>725612239
Strange question to ask. Your system should automatically activate the fans as needed. Just be sure there is proper air flow and the computer in in room temperature conditions.

they produce less heat because less electricity is used because of a smaller component size, their upper limit is even less than they used to be, intel are already reaching the thermal limit of silicon components, the latest 14nm cpus FRY EASY

>>725616113
Its like difference between and Audi and Toyota. Yes both drive but one is clearly better but the poor fuck who can only afford the Toyota says shit like
>they both have wheels and do the same job

>>7256162
leddit fag, go home

>>725613244
Who the fuck buys a Titan x and then a shit CPU. You're fucking retarded

>>725615671
Not smashing top-tier gear, just saying that cpu coolers are irrelevant. Save $40-200 by not getting one. While you're at it, save money by not getting ram since L1 and L2 caches are getting bigger and SSDs are getting cheaper.

>>725616706
holy shit i feel so bad for your oc, a heatsink without a fan is so fucking pointless

>>725612239
Buy a cheap aio watercooler and never worry about it (excluding overclocking)

I keep my 6700k at 4.4GHz and it runs at around 25 celcius. So, aim for that.

>>725616378
Well, no. I clearly know the difference.
What IS different is that I'm a poorfag that can play the same games as my wasteful brother (who is also a poorfag, but obviously has different priorities).
Would I love a new system? Goddamn right.
Do I hate having to buy recycled parts? Goddamn right.
But I compromise here and there to make ends meet. All this BS about "PC's are so expensive" is garbage. My PC outperforms any of the consoles and give new systems (except for the most recent Intel and Ryzen) a run for their money.

>>725617160
What do you run liquid nitrogen through your cooler?

>>725612239
Optimum is as low as possible. But they all have different thermal comfort zones, laptop ones are 105C ish, but Desktop ones might start to be unhappy at 80C+.

Basically, on full load don't get it above 70 and you're good regardless of brand and chip really.
