So I have an AMD X4 9950 CPU running with the stock AMD Cooler (it's the slightly better 4 pipe copper heatpipe one). This One Here
It's in a conventional 7 slot PCI Full tower Case, with a 120mm fan in the back and 120mm fan in the front, so cooling is taken care of.
I'm using speccy to checkout the temps. I've heard the temperature sensors that programs like speccy and HW Monitor use for AMD CPUs aren;t the most accurate (and i've seen and heard about the FM2 ones being way off)
I've replaced the thermal paste with a decent amount, but not too much.
Just while dowloading/installing a game from steam, it hovers between 60 - 65 degrees on the CPU and 55 on the motherboard.
While running the Unigine Valley Benchmark it hits ~68 degrees on the CPU and the motherboard is on around 58.
While running the MEtro Last Light Gaming Benchmark looking at ~70 degees on the CPU and 60 on the motherboard.
It's been running for about an hour+ like this without crashing or turning itself off. SO i'm not entirely sure how accurate these figures are. However would running it like this long term be potentially dangerous for the system?
Thanks,
