Hello,
I've recently purchased the Arctic 7 freezer pro to make sure my CPU will run cool. I'm a bit dissapointed with the temps I'm getting(30-40° idle, 60-67° load). I've had Arctic 11 before and my CPU would reach 73° on load, Idle was around the same.
I'm living in quite a hot country, It's usually 33° outside daily, my case is PC-K62 and I have 2 fans running except for CPU.
So my question is, are these temps are normal or maybe did I apply the thermal paste wrong?(MX-4)

The problem is that people confuse the Tcase with Tjunction.

Tjunction is laptop only, Tcase is desktop only.

The Tcase temperature for OP's CPU is 72 C, but notice that it says Tcase...

These temps are definitely normal, with load 60-67° is quite good. You really only need to worry if the temps start to hit around 80-85° and you are well below that under load.

Nothing to worry about mate :)

Forgive me if I am wrong but having your CPU at high temps like 85-90C for long periods of time can cause problems. Most people I know and myself prefer to have it below 80C and if it goes higher then we know it is getting hotter then it should

That Tcase is basically 90-100 C Tjunction, and that is putting it very simple, because the core temperature programs are basically the standard. Both desktop and laptop CPU's are going to show roughly 100 C before shutting down in core temperature programs.

If you need confirmation of what I'm saying, then please ask Intel, which I did just now, and here's what they said.

Intel: Hence as per the specifications 90 C is safe for this processor.
Me: It's safe even at 100C, due to it shutdown?
Intel: Yes, you are correct. 100 C is safe for this processor.
Me: So, a lot of people are spreading misinformation thinking "safe" means that above that causes harm to the CPU?
Intel: Yes, this is throttling temperature and there is no need to worry about this processor working at 100 C. Anything above 100 C is not good and effects the processor performance and might damage the processor.
Me: And because it shutdown, the damage to the CPU is prevented?
Intel: Yes, processors nowadays are designed in such a way that when they reach the maximum temperature it will shut down automatically to avoid the processor damage.


If you need additional confirmation, ask Intel yourself, and you'll see that the confusion between Tcase and Tjunction combined with the CPU temperature measurement standard is what's throwing people off, and the reason there's a lot of misinformation about Intel CPU's.



All the best!

It doesn't throttle at 90°C; it does at 100°C. It will shutdown only if it reaches 100°C when throttled.

It shuts down only if the temperature keeps rising once it has throttled; don't assume, test it yourself by disconnecting the fan and running a stress test.
