Mrgigabyte123 · Aug 9, 2013

If my CPU is at 104 degrees does that mean I should get a new cooler , and is that bad for my CPU , and if possible could u guys recomend a good CPU or send my a link for one , thx guys!

If that is in celsius then you have a problem. You may not need a new sink tho. It may just need some cleaning and a reapply of thermal paste (arctic silver 5 is good).

If you want a new sink I would get the hyper 212 evo...cheap and effective.

What cpu are we talking about?

Mrgigabyte123 · Aug 9, 2013

We are talking about the amd 8350 vishera

Come to think of it...if that is in Celsius then your machine would probably not be working. So is that temp in Fahrenheit? If so you might be fine. Is that a temp under load or at idle? If idle, then what is your temp under load?

Mrgigabyte123 :

60c or 140F are the max safe temps for that cpu. As Senkasaw is asking, are you reporting temps in C or F?

O MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! 104C ITS GOING TO BURN THE CPU AND MELT THE PLASTIC AROUND IT IF IT GETS TOO MUCH HOTTER. You really need to get a good heatsink fast if you have a cheap stock one. Dont even use the PC without a new one. I would go with senkasaw's suggestion and get a Hyper 212 and some AS5 thermal paste. Here are the links.

It's fahrenhiet

Mrgigabyte123 · Aug 9, 2013

Ok thx then 813 I will do that !

In the future, we do not talk about temps in Fahrenheit, only Celsius.

104F is not bad...that's only 40C...you're actually fine there. Is that idle or load?

Mrgigabyte123 · Aug 9, 2013

Umm I think idle , haven't over clocked yet!

Mrgigabyte123 · Aug 9, 2013

Umm I think idle , haven't over clocked yet!

Mrgigabyte123 · Aug 9, 2013

So wait 104 f isn't bad ?

ihog · Aug 9, 2013

It's average for idle.

8350rocks · Aug 9, 2013

ihog :

+1 That is slightly above average for idle...though if you have the stock cooler on it, there's nothing to be concerned about, as that is typical of the stock cooler.

ihog · Aug 10, 2013

Yup, also, load temps are what matter most.

104F is perfectly fine, if you are going to really push it when overclocking, I would upgrade to a Hyper for better protection against overheating. If you are mildly or moderately overclocking it will be fine.

My CPU is at 104
