Is This a Normal CPU Temp?

Guest · Jan 8, 2014

I Have a AMD FX-6300 Overclocked to 4 GHz
When on windows 7 main screen I get a CPU temp of 40-50C. When playing Far Cry3 or other games I get 55-70C
This seems a bit hot to me. Are these temps normal?

they are not dangerously high. but a little warmer then usual for idle. is it warm in your house. and do you have proper cooling for your pc?

BN91 · Jan 8, 2014

also you overclocked so you should expect warmer temps. are you using an aftermarket cpu cooler? its highly recommended when overclocking

Depending on cooler really but on the high end.

My room is like Mid 70s Fahrenheit and it's kind of small as well

I think my temps are high for what I have installed

BN91 · Jan 8, 2014

yea i was just doing a little research and most people are saying 65 to 70 is ok for what you have. but dont recommend going much hotter then that.

i would continue to monitor it to make sure its staying around what your normally at now

Okay thanks. I'm using SpeedFan to monitor my temps is it a good program?

it wouldnt hurt to try another program and compare the results. just remember not to run more then one monitoring program at a time. it can affect the results.

as long as your not going much higher then the 70c mark you should be ok

Okay thanks for all the help!

Hardware Monitor says my CPU is 22C-40C Average: 30's. Should I trust this more?

BN91 · Jan 8, 2014

that seems alot more reasonable if your were idle or just messing around online.

rolli59 · Jan 8, 2014

No not really I trust BIOS the best, then use Core temp which I can set offset in according to BIOS. TX3 is just an average cooler so your temps are no unbelievable.

Below 80c is good, below 70c is preferred. 85c will work, but 90c is about the max.
