Like a tittle, I use cpu as core i3 4130 Haswell, with three LED case fans. When idle, it is 34 - 39 degree, when using low-medium progress, it's around 41-47 degree ( I'm using three tab Google Chrome on 36-38 degree ). When I play Call of Duty : Ghost, Bioshock Infinite, e.t.c.., it's around 54-60 degree, but when I use prime95 version 28.5 about 7 minutes, it gets 90 degree. But I click the button "stop" then immediately it gets down from 90 to 56 and gradually to 3x-4x degree.

What happened ? I've just built my new specs for a week. :(

Just to clarify here: The maximum case temperature for that CPU is 72°C, but the temperature that Prime 95 is reporting is the junction temperature. Tj-max for these CPUs is typically around 105°C.

If you're talking about core temps, then you're right, I agree with you.

What I AM telling is, softwares show temperatures which are independent of room temps. They don't show exact core temps either. They show the temp where temp sensors are. Thermal Diode located in the center under the Cores is used to substitute for a thermocouple. Based on those reading, 90C is the peak temp for heavy workloads and should not be sustained.

Its just that if one is going with software temperatures, then its not...

yes that's normal temps for the cpu 34- 39 c at idle and 54-60 while gaming is good temperature and prime 95 is a test for checking the stability of cpu overclock u dont actually need to run the prime 95 and not at all with the stock Intel cooler...... prime 95 puts your cpu at 100% load and the stock coolers are not meant for handling that type of heat u need an aftermarket cooler to run prime 95......hope it helps...

That's not correct. The Intel i Core processors have 30-40C when idle, 50-60 when medium gaming and 60-70 when heavy gaming. Its very rare in everyday workloads for them to go beyond 70C. But yes prit87 was correct, Prime 95 is meant for checking OC stability and not measuring the temp at that time. It'll run your CPU at 100% which the stock coolers can't handle, resulting in utterly high temps.

Its not ok for any CPU to go anywhere near or beyond 100C and therefore don't run the test with a stock cooler, buy a custom cooler like CM 212 EVO.
The specified limit for CPU decay (aka destruction) is around 105C.

Trust me it's fine, the difference in temp is made by the ambient or room temperature, the stock cooler is meant to work fine with all locked cpu's, again the temps are fine, you don't have to get an aftermarket cooler just to run prime

yes no need for an af cooler in a locked cpu .......just dont run prime 95 its used for checking the stability after overclocking so no need for u...and as i said the 60 c while gaming is really good temperature...if its reaching 80c then u should worry..

Sorry, but I can't agree with you on this. 70C is not fine for any CPU, including this one, no matter how bad the room temp is. IT's NOT THE NORMAL TEMP OF A CPU. The normal temps with a stock cooler is:
idle: in 30s or early 40s.
mild gaming or streaming or browsing: late 40s.
medium gaming: 50s to 60s.
heavy gaming: 60s to 70s.
It shouldn't get anywhere near 70C in 'real-world everyday workloads'.

Read this article and see that the room temperature has a direct impact on the CPU

yes the ambient temps have an impact on the cpu to my knowledge the cpu remain 7-8 c more warmer than the room temps which is good because if its less than the room temp then the water droplets will form over the cpu for general reasons :p which is much wore....and yes 70 c while gaming is a safe temps but 75 c and above is a bit worrying.....

Its just that if one is going with software temperatures, then its not justified to talk about Core temps and confuse everyone.
Software temps indeed are lower than core temps, but those are normally used to relatively measure the temps taking them as CORE TEMPS which they aren't.
70C is normal to achieve but not with everyday workloads. It is achieved by using heavy gaming or 3D dev. softwares.
70C is achieved in many CPUs while heavy gaming, but that's not ok for CPUs to sustain it.
I AM TALKING ABOUT SOFTWARE TEMP MEASUREMENTS HERE.
