Thiago_4 · Sep 10, 2016

Hello, been using the stock cooler recently and got this temps:

36 C idle.
76 C was while playing.
Should i be worried?
EDIT 1 : Well... My PC just restarted once the temps got to 73C while playing Rainbow Six Siege.

No, that's fine. Max temp is 100c. You don't want to be at max temp, but many laptop manufacturers allow Haswell CPUs to run as high as 90-95c and experience no issues.

i have 70°C with water cooler, installed this thing in all sorts of ways, the CPU is still hot when doing stuff.

70C is on the warm side for watercooling you know ohim.

Ecky · Sep 10, 2016

Maybe so, but it's not going to hurt anything.

Ecky · Sep 10, 2016

My guess is that it has nothing to do with temps, unless you've specifically set your computer (in BIOS) to restart at that temperature.

theonerm2 · Sep 10, 2016

Those are normal temps. Nothing to worry about there. You should worry if your CPU approaches 100c but 76c is perfectly normal.

I would blink an eye at anything below 80c unless its being watercooled. Than you have a problem.

I think that its my PSU.

Can PSU overheating shut down a PC?
Im going to clean it up since its turned upside down, so the fan is facing the bottom of my case.

Does the bottom of your case not have any ventilation? If so, yea I'd definitely flip that around. This way the hot air gets blown up and then gets pushed out by the exhaust fan. If there is a vent on the bottom, I would personally leave facing the bottom because then the hot air from the psu isn't blowing on your other components.

As for your cpu temps, here is a link to a very detailed guide when it comes to Intel processors. Scroll down to section 5 and you'll find yourself feeling relieved

iamacow :

Moved the damn thing all over the place, no way this CPU is going cooler, while rendering it always pushes 4.4 GHz .. the only way to get normal temps is to disable Turbo and have it at 4.0 GHz stock.

When i render from Premiere Pro i get 76°C at 4.4 GHz, i remember when people told me that the AMD CPUs are hot and my FX 8350 was rendering at 66°C at 4 GHz.

Well its wasnt hardware problem.

Actually its Rainbow Six Siege the problem.

Been playing Battlefield 4 and my CPU reachs at max 68C.

I will need to contact Ubishit support. Thx for the help guys.

I got my system down to 26c on a custom loop with a GTX 1070 in it. Half the time I don't want to believe it. Yet it boots around 19c before warming up.

AMD FX chips have a thermal limit of 75c. so 66c is on the high side for those.
