Normal cpu temperature when gaming.

Alois_trancy · Mar 23, 2015

Hi guys is that normal for my cpu temperature at 50°c+ - 60°c+ when gaming? idle is 30°c+ -40°c+. Im just playing Dota 2 and Csgo medium setting.

Pc :
Intel core i5 4590
Asus b85 - Pro Gamer
Kingston hyperX fury 8Gb
Gtx 650 2Gb ddr5
Intel cpu cooler
Psu 550w

Yes, nothing to be worried about. The Intel heatsinks are pretty awful. I especially hate those plastic tabs the seem to fall out if you look at them the wrong way.

oh really glad to hear that, im kinda worried cuz i just build my pc last week. im planning going for seidon 120v

Alois_trancy,

At 22C Standard Ambient, here's the typical operating range for Core temperature:

80C Hot (100% Load)
75C Warm
70C Warm (Heavy Load)
60C Norm
50C Norm (Medium Load)
40C Norm
30C Cool (Idle)

Regardlessa, there are far too many variables to make meaningful comparisons using gaming workloads for a thermal benchmark.

The reason why there are so many conflicting reports of different temperatures, is that everyone tests their rigs with different stress tests, clock speeds, Vcore, coolers, ambient temperatures and measuring utilities that read two different types of processor temperatures.

Add to that the fact that almost no one bothers to look up Intel's specs, which aren't written to make any sense to anyone anyway. Then there's the term "load" that gets tossed around like gorilla poo in a cage. Load? Which load? What load? Load is a very subjective term.

Applications, rendering, encoding and gaming are partial workloads with fluctuating temperatures, and aren't suitable for thermal testing or comparing temperatures, but they're great for endless speculation and debate. Add a graphics card that recirculates heat into your case, and your perspective is lost among all the variables.

There are only three relevant values; Ambient temperature, steady-state 100% workload, and dead idle. The only way to make sense of this mess is to test your rig using a methodology that reduces the variables to the lowest common denominators. The Intel Temperature Guide explains how to do it.

CM Seidon is a great closed loop cooler. Probably one of the best price/performance wise liquid coolers out there.
Specially if you can pick it up for $20 - $30 on sale.
If you can't get one on sale then you can get CM Hyper 212 which will still drop your temps quiet a bit.
Since you have a non K CPU, CM Hyper 212 will get the job done.

i can get this two, but which is better between this two. i hate see my temperature above 60°c it hurt my eyes haha

You must be a former AMD owner.

Seriously, Core temperatures in the mid-70's are fine for most Intel processors.

Intel desktop processors have thermal sensors for each Core, plus a sensor for the entire processor, so a Quad Core has five sensors. Heat originates within the Cores where Digital sensors measure Core temperatures. A single Analog sensor under the Cores measures overall CPU temperature.

Core temperature is 5C higher than CPU temperature due to sensor location. Intel's Thermal Specification is "Tcase", which is CPU temperature, not Core Temperature. Tcase for your i5 4590 is 72C: - http://ark.intel.com/products/80815/Intel-Core-i5-4590-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_70-GHz

Tcase + 5 makes the corresponding Core temperature 77C. <-- This is your spec.

The relationship between Core temperature and CPU temperature is not in the Thermal Specifications; it's only found in a few engineering documents. In order to get a clear perspective of processor temperatures, it's important to understand the terminology and specifications.

Please read this Tom’s Sticky: Intel Temperature Guide - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html

Run the load test in Section 12 to see if you even need to spend your money on a cooler.

Although marginal, Intel's stock cooler is typically adequate for non-K processors.

Just read the Guide and run the test, so you know exactly where you stand.

no im always intel

, i have core 2 duo before which is not strong enough. ill try that section 12 m8 ty!
