CPU just hit 100°C, Can it cause any probléma?

NyxonHU · Aug 24, 2016

So i built a new pc with i5 4590 with CM TX3 Evo, and it looks like i mounted the the cooler wrong, and my cpu (while browsing) got really laggy and slowly, i opened up a program and it said 100°C. I shut down my pc immediately. Its good now. Can it cause any problem?

In general you should be ok. The slowdown you feel is the cpu clocking down to prevent damage.

I would not want to run it long term like that, but I have seen some systems get pretty heated and have no future issues.

@ 100c the CPU is auto clocking to avoid damage. I would look for the source of the problem, 100c isn't normal.

Make sure you used thermalpaste if there isnt any pre applied. And I know it sounds dumb, but make sure the plastic is taken off the bottom of the cooler, ive seen people do it before.

100 c is insanely hot, but if it only happened once and is running fine now, you shouldnt have anything to worry about.

Yeah, as nukemaster said, there really shouldn't be any long term effects from that, and it was just doing what it supposed to do to keep it from melting down. But definitely get that fixed as soon as you can (preferably before you use it again).

Thanks for the fast answer, i was just a little worried. Damaging a brand new cpu feels bad.
