CPU temperature

Last response: in Systems
Share

CPU: Intel i5 750 Quad Core 2.67Ghz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti
RAM: 8 GB


I'm using Core Temp and it's saying that my temperatures are ~32°C with just Google Chrome open, and if I play Global Agenda: Free Agent it says that I run between ~63°C and ~72°C.

I was wondering those temperatures are too high, and if I need to reapply some thermal paste to my CPU?

It's up to you; you're ok up to 72c, according to Intel. The hyper 212 is popular for an upgrade; newegg had them for $20 after rebate recently. But personally, I would leave it alone; Intel will cover the cpu for 3 years; you'll probably change it out before then.

If it's a stock heatsink that's perfectly normal

Temperatures below 80 degrees wont significantly affect the processor's lifespan
