Computer temps way to high?

Tom Pake · Apr 20, 2016

I am using AMD Overdrive and recently my computer has been getting very hot...

when I play games my
In the CPU Status Tab my thermal margin is a 38.0
In the GPU Status Tab the temp is 70c
and in my Fan Control Tab its 51 is this bad/how do i fix it if it is

My computer is almost burning when I touch it when I play video games on it

Were those temps taken during load or at idle?

Those are safe and normal temps for many PCs when gaming. A TM of 38C means the CPU temp is below max for most CPUs. 70c is quite good for most gfx cards at load.

Always list your PC's specs when you post something like this. It helps to know what we are dealing with.
A FX-8350 OC'ed will naturally run hotter than say a A4-3300.
If your case is small or dirty, or you live in hot climes, the temps will be different than for someone with a large case with good airflow living in a temperature-controlled environment.

When you say your "computer" is getting very hot, and you say "My computer is almost burning when I touch it"... what part are you touching?

The top of it is very hot especially near the opening where the fan exerts the air out of

Run a temp pgm other than AoD so we can see what the actual temp of the cores are. HwInfo is one such example. But the CPU is being cooled by blowing heat from it via the heat sink. And at normal load temps, the CPU will be as hot as scalding water.
