IS 85 C hot for CPU while gaming?

CPU's can easily run @ 85C-87C. Once you get over 90C+, thats when you start seeing the CPU throttling slightly, but even @ those temps its completely fine. Just make sure you turn on the fan @ turbo while you're gaming. I have an AMD 4900S, and it idles around 40C but will get as high as 70C while gaming.

Is 85 degrees hot for CPU under load?

But, as a generalization that might help you identify a serious problem, if you have an Intel or AMD processor, you could say that a CPU core temperature of over 45-degrees Celsius while idling and/or a temperature of over 95-degrees Celsius while under full load is probably a cause for concern.

Is 86 degrees hot for CPU?

86 centigrade is still within acceptable limits on Intel CPUs. It's high and you definitely don't want it running at that temperature 24/7 but for a short period it is okay. Laptops are not meant for lengthy and complex workloads such as 20+ hour render jobs, there are workstations for that.

Will a 90C CPU hurt?

Judicious. Yes those temps are a little high under load however you would rarely see that under normal conditions. High 90C temps if sustained will degrade the CPU over time. For longevity I like to keep below 80C under load and 10-15C above ambient room temp at idle.

Is it OK to have CPU at 100?

If the CPU usage is around 100%, this means that your computer is trying to do more work than it has the capacity for. This is usually OK, but it means that programs may slow down a little. Computers tend to use close to 100% of the CPU when they are doing computationally-intensive things like running games.

How long can a CPU run at 100% usage?

Most computers can handle 100% usage 24/7. Lower power designs like laptops will reduce the clock speeds to match the cooling. All laptops that I have owned were able to go 24/7 at 100% for days. Usually the power brick got mighty hot, but the laptop was fine.
