oczdude8 :
what exact cpu do you have? but usually its safe until temp go over 70c (in stress testing), and will most likely be around 55c-60c under standard usage (i.e. gaming and stuff).
i7 3770k @3.90ghz ( 90% gaming 10% streaming or surfing ) and my temps usually at 55-62c when gaming and 35-45c while doing other stuff streaming,surfing.etc is it safe for long term?
