concerned about my PC temp

Mirosuke · **Posted:** Tue Mar 26, 2013 12:31 am

Just wondering

Why some of my cores are on flame? I know is like overheating so it is bad?
Would fix it if I get a fan? It used to be lower than 39C now it rises as high as you see.
Wait a second, perhaps since I got the wireless adapter's blocking the fan path?
Nah, the wifi adapter is too small to obstruct something.

Don't know if it matter but SpeedFan takes a while to load lately :/

Is that while idling or while playing a game?

And 60C is not so bad, components usually start melting at 100++

Maybe you should quit being so damn sensual. It's not the PC's fault you're irresistible.

Playing games; Idle goes below 31C.

Yeah, and if you're still worried about those temps being too high under a load, I hear AMD recommends using dry ice.. but that's usually only necessary once you start getting around 8 GHz.

Yet I heard liquid nitrogen sealed the deal?

Speedfan does that just showing it's warm, not that your PC is about to explode.
Your temps are perfectly normal, nothing to worry about.
Your hardware can handle 80C for years without any problems [playing games for a few hours a day, not for years straight lul], 90-100C+ is what most consider the danger zone.

My i5 usually sits around 30C idle and 65C in-game OC'd to 3.6GHz with a crappy heatsink, it's been going strong since '09.

Stages go, Air cooling for stock and low overclock, Water for mid to low high overclock and liquid nitrogen for stupid shit and liquid hydrogen for insanity.

ONT:

your temps are fine

tbh my friend had the i5-2500k and didn't like the temps for the stock cooler but they weren't bad. He basically bought a slab of copper and slapped it on there to cool it another 10c I think.

Thanks for the responses. I'm just concerned, not freaking out xD
Since I know my laptop overheats and I built this PC not so long ago, it got me unexpected but that's good to know.
