What is a good CPU temp?

The acceptable range is between 150 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit (65 to 70 degrees Celcius) when the PC is running essential apps. This temperature can quickly increase to around 175 degrees Fahrenheit (80 degrees Celsius) when playing games or running intensive software.

Is 45 degrees Celsius hot for a CPU?

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 80 degrees hot for a CPU?

If you are hovering around 70 to 80 degrees Celsius, some would say that it is generally safe. While it is a little bit safe, it is already near the danger levels of overheating as going close to 90 degrees while gaming can get your CPU damaged over time.

Is 90 CPU temp normal?

Opinions vary, but popular thinking says that anything over 80 is risky over the long run, and upwards to 90 is becoming dangerous. Around 90 is when thermal throttling happens (which is your PC down-clocking the CPU to reduce heat) and at least for my laptop it will shut down around 94c.

Is 90 degrees normal for CPU?

The CPU can typically handle up to like 100 degrees C, but if it ever reaches that point, it will start thermal throttling. Regardless, having temperatures this high will shorten the lifespan of the CPU.

Is 120 degrees too hot for CPU?

A good temperature for your desktop computer's CPU is around 120℉ when idle, and under 175℉ when under stress. If you're using a laptop, you should look for CPU temperatures between 140℉ and 190℉. If your CPU heats up beyond about 200℉, your computer can experience glitches, or simply shut down.

Will a 90C CPU hurt?

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.

Why does my CPU get so hot?

As electricity passes through the CPU or gets blocked inside, it gets turned into heat energy. While a processor in a high-performance workstation may run hot due to heavy use, a processor in a regular computer that overheats is almost always a sign of a malfunctioning system.

How hot should Ryzen 7 5800x get?

Idol at around 30-40 is normal, but unless your CPU utilization is over 80% (which is pretty much impossible for normal use at home like gaming or steaming) it should stays under 75. It is design to run normal under 95 but high temp will surely shorten its life.

How hot does Ryzen 9 5900X get?

For instance, in our testing, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X reached a maximum temperature of 86°C – and that's with a 360mm AIO cooler attached. Don't worry, that's just how Ryzen is designed. AMD has told us that the new processors may peak around 98°C, and that it's expected. Your processor isn't going to burst into flames.
