I have a question regarding GPU Hot spot temps, i am running a RX 6700 XT, and my hot spot temps is 90-100°C+, while the overall of the gpu is 79°C, is that like bad? or maybe there is something wrong with my GPU? This is while running The Last of Us (In the Main menu) and opening Opera GX, i don't know if this occur just recently or for a long time, i just notice this when i was opening HWMonitor, should i change thermal paste or maybe it's normal? But while its on idle or i don't utilize my GPU its more or less the same with overall GPU temps on 50-60°C. I've uploaded a images regarding the temps of both my CPU and GPU so that it maybe of some use. Thank you in advance.

Hi, So i have repasted 4 times like in a 6 months period and i have even replaced the both laptop's fans with new ones but i see no improvement in temperatures. What i'm doing wrong? few things from side: - Using laptop Cooler - Vents are clear - Bios Up to date - Room temp not high - No virus or anything, fresh installation I can not under-volt because of my Bios update version with Intel XTU, neither under-volting works with throttlestop. So under-volting is not possible. CPU temps go to 100C even with loads like 10-30%, where as GPU is fine at 99% of load. Please help.

ello while ilde with discord open ,chrome but nothing actually playing with tabs in active at chrome my temps seem to be high the pic below is what me temps are while the situation i just mentioned is occuring im new to built pcs still as this is the first one ive built myself specs are as follows i7 12700kf Nivida rtx 3060 ti air cooler: Noctua NH-U12A im tryna figure this out soon bc im poor atm i got lucky to be able to buy the parts for this pc an i dont know what to do as ive said these temps are happening while discords open (im not in a call or anything literally just have it open an chrome of which im doing literally nothing on an steam in he background but nothings downloading ,no games are updating / running so im not seeing a reason for temps to go up pic below is exactly but hardware monitor was showing right before i typed this up the value catagory is whats currently happening the min is the lowest its gotten to the max is the highest its gotten to an thats underload via spike its not consistently stay at 91 while im gaming it stays 70-80c while im gaming

First time PC Builder, got parts for Christmas and built them: Parts I think are relevant - AMD Ryzen 7 7700 X CPU MSI MAG Coreliquid C360 Sometimes the PC boots, temps run normally, no issues. Idles at about 40C. Other times, temps start rising on startup and just don’t stop. Sometimes it’s like the cooler slows the rising temps but they always eventually continue rising into the 90-100 range. Was told too much thermal paste could be the issue, so I reapplied thermal paste last night, worked the first time I booted it up. Today, back to the same old issue. Is it an issue with the cooler itself? Did I put too much paste again? Help please Let me know if there is any other info you need

hi , i own a dell g15 5510 gaming laptop that packs an i7 10870h with an RTX3060 , i noticed while playing a new game (the finals) some performance issues , therefore i started investigating . i enabled the msi afterburner overlay to check the temps and clock speeds , where i found the temps to be normal (cpu 60-70) (gpu 50-60) , but the issue is the cpu keeps throttling for some reason , i noticed it droping to 800mhz for 1 sec and then get back to 4.1ghz repeatedly , only to find out in the limits section a BD PROCHOT , i knew that the temps are fine , so i disabled the bdprochot setting from throttle stop which fixed it the new temps are (cpu 70-87) (gpu 60-70). but iam concerned . why does it happen in the firstplace , like it bursts the BD PROCHOT doesnt stay active all the time . only when gaming it happens . and the weird thing . i tried to keep the BD PROCHOT on and disable turbo boost which locked the cpu to its stock clock (2.2ghz) , only to find that performance issues are gone , the temps are low , the BD PROCHOT not happening . the only issue then is iam scarificing cpu potential performance. i did a test for about 10-15min and gathered the log files . hopefully it could lead to something . 2024-01-04.txt

During this test i was watching Youtube video on 1080p and downloading a 50 GB file in background on Brave browser with 7 tabs opened at the same time. I have checked there was no background running app which can cause these temps. Laptop spec - Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58 Intel® Core™ i7-12650H 16 GB RAM RTX 3070 ti at 150 W Room temperature was around 25 degrees and laptop was placed on a table with good ventilation for air circulation. What can be the solution if this is not normal ? Laptop is 6 months old even checked vents which are not dirty at all.

Hi Linus Tech Tips forum i have a little concerning is cpu temps like 39-60c with like 3-6% usage in idle fine for an i7 6700k 4 cores 8 threads running under a Corsair Icue h100x elite rgb plus there is 3 intake fans in my case and 1 rear exhaust fan and the aio is mounted in top of my case

This is my first post, so please excuse any formatting mistakes As the title says my 7900xt is hitting 105-110c on the hotspot when at full load. I'm using Starfield for testing as it is the most intensive real world us I can throw at it. The high hot spot temp wouldn't concern me, but its the delta between the GPU temp (Edge) and the hot spot, its about 40c which seems higher than other reports I've seen I have been able to get temps slightly under control with an undervolt without losing much performance if any. This still hasn't fully solved my issue. GPU Info Temps with Default Profile Temps with Undervolt Undervolt Settings I have seen similar complaints on other forums and websites, anything y'all would suggest to fix it? Ive seen mention of using a thermal pad as the TIM for the GPU I'm not sure i trust this. Is anyone else having this problem? Do y'all think its just a case of RMA? Thanks - LBB

Hey! So I was wondering if 80C is good for a 7800x3d on %100 percent load? Rocking a PA120 SE for the cooler. Around 43-47 on idle it seems. Thanks!

I've posted to this form before about high temps in FIFA23 and other intensive games. Since then, I have not found any solution other than simply not playing the games that cause these high temps (90-100c). Before I take my PC back since I am still under warranty, I just want to know if it's specific to my machine or just a common issue amongst this CPU. I just ran a 3dMark Time Spy benchmark so take from this what you will. I understand what components it could be, I would just like to know what other people (the relatively uninitiated) would do in this scenario. Thanks to anyone who can help!

I am planning on a build with the Corsair 5000D Airflow and I will use a 360mm AIO for intake (NZXT Kraken Elite). I am trying to figure out what to do with the extra 2 fans given with the case because I've heard positive air pressure is better. Should I put them both as exhaust? My GPU is an RTX 3080ti and I don't know how much cooling it needs. Buying an extra 3 fans is also maybe an option. What do you recommend? Thanks

I recently upgraded from a 2060 super to a 6800xt. My current rig is a 5900x with H100i 240mm and a 6800xt in a 4000x. I was looking at my temps lately and I've noticed they were quite high. Around 70 degree idle on the CPU and around 52 degrees on the GPU. Under a synthetic load (cinebench and furmark) the CPU hits 80 degrees with the GPU at 91 with a hotspot of 99. When I play cyberpunk, both sit around 80 degrees, with the GPU hotspot of 90. I feel like these temps are kinda high? I'm not sure if it's because my case is too small, or my fans are too slow. Any help would be greatly appreciated Pictures of my idle and max temps are below, along with a picture of my case so someone can tell me if it's too small.

I have my own personal temperature targets on my PC that I try and stick to, these being that I stay below 70c on the CPU and below 65c on the GPU. Call it OTT, that's just how it is. So far I've not had it go above my targets on either and today I've been running Red Dead Redemption 2 for the past 6 hours at 1440p/60fps all high settings aside from textures and soft shadows which are both set at ultra - all whilst HWMonitor was running in the background keeping track of everything. I'm running a Ryzen 5 5600X and an RTX 3060 12GB, neither are overclocked and both are air cooled as I don't want liquid cooling. I like the look of air cooled PC's way more than having all those pipes and tubes running all over the place, so that suits me fine. This is sat inside a Corsair 4000D Airflow case with 3 intake fans on the front, 1 exhaust on the back and two up top. After the 6 hours this has been on, the highest temp on the CPU reported by HWM is 64.3 on CCD#0 (not sure which number to look at out of all them) and the GPU hit a max temp of 61.0 with a hot spot of 72.1. This post is not so much for advice as it is about seeing different opinions on just how much heat I'm kicking out during what is a pretty demanding game at 1440p, but of course any advice would be taken on board. Could they be better?

My 2080TI has been running hot now for about half a year. The average temps are fine since they never get above 80°C, but the fans will still kicks on to 100% occasionally because the hot spot will be over 100°C. Usually the hotspot will reach 105°C when the gpu is about 75°C. I've repasted it before with Noctua H1 thermal paste and used a spatula to ensure that the full die was covered. The temps improved to a 20°C offset temporarily, but would should back up within a couple of months. I also undervolted it to run no higher than .838V when under load and have verified through HWInfo that it is adhering to that curve. As for the case and environment that it's in, It's in a NCase M1 with two Noctua NF A-12x15 fans under it for intake. The room is air-conditioned to be 74°F as that's a comfortable temp for me and my partner. I'm just wondering if it's even worth it to repaste again or if this is about what I should expect from my GPU. Or if this type of temperature difference is normal and I'm freaking out over nothing. Edit: I repasted the GPU with Arctic MX-6 and am seeing a 15°C difference. As a fresh paste, it's still better than the Noctua H1. Will keep an eye on it but it seems to be working well.

A topic that I've seen come up that I've had to address, an understandable misinterpretation, is that higher temperatures of components mean more heat into your room. This is far enough removed from a proper understanding of thermodynamics enough for me to make a post I can reference back to as a detailed explanation of why. TLDR: The primary controlling variable for energy/heat into your room from your computer is its power consumption. More energy in = more energy out. The variable that controls this is energy in, which is compensated for by either changing fan speeds or allowing the difference in temperature of the components and your environment to change. Higher temperatures under load are simply the way a heat source compensates for an insufficient proportional increase in the other variables, like airflow or heat capacity/surface area/heat transfer coefficients, etc. What can you do to change this? Lower your power consumption. A way to mitigate its effect to the user can also be to transport that heat more effectively away from the user (shoutout to whole room watercooling, RIP). Now to show this qualitatively with some simple equations and definitions to understand: Temperature- the average random molecular kinetic energy of a substance. This is a localized approximation of kinetic energy by its nature and not indicative of kinetic energy of a whole system. A fundamentally important thing to understand is that computers are practically space heaters, where most of the electrical energy into a computer is converted to waste heat. BTU/hr being proportional to Watts (3.41 conversion) since Watts are just Joules/sec. dT (difference in temperature) can be defined as (Tsource – Tsink), being the difference in temperature between the heat source and heatsink (CPU and your room, as examples). Heat transfer cannot occur without a difference in temperature. If dT is 0, then no heat transfer is occurring between those materials. The higher the difference, the more heat transfer can occur. This is why allowing your temperatures to go up at a lower fan speed can reach an equilibrium, Tsource will keep going up until it does or it throttles back power consumption, therefore reducing the heat transfer requirement. More unit definition/clarifications: 'U,A' in the top equation being complex variables, since it’ll include the heat transfer coefficient of every layer or be an average across multiple layers, where this in some equations is defined as the ‘material constant’ since its largely dependent on material properties and are relatively constant. The simplest explanation of these variables is they’re proportional to your heat sink, like a 120mm AIO versus an NH-D15, where an NH-D15 will have a higher UA. A way of visualizing this is with a cross section of heat transfer layers of a microprocessor. Notice how we’re already at 3 layers of materials without adding thermal paste or the heat sink, which the heatsink will have multiple layers between it alone. Each of these materials will have their own U (heat transfer coefficient), where generally you’re most limited by the number of layers and the lowest heat transfer coefficient. The overall value of these heat transfer coefficients when factoring in their thickness and individual heat transfer coefficients will determine U. This is the major reason why 3D v-cache operates so hot and requires lower maximums, since the extra copper and cache layers require a proportionally lower temperature at the point of measurement to maintain a safe die temperature. 'A' (cross sectional area) is the third dimension of the heat transfer profile, being the contactable surface area to transfer heat from a heat source to a heat sink. Things like Heat Flux come into play with this value, but its outside the scope of this discussion. Now finally to the second equation… 'M' (mass flow rate) is the volumetric flow of the fluid (whether that’s water or air) that’s acting as the heat transfer medium. This would be the fluid in a CPU AIO or the fluid in the heatpipes of a tower cooler, and then again for the air that the fans move across the radiator or heatsink fins. 'C' (specific heat capacity) is practically speaking a measurement of density, where it’s the amount of energy per mass per degree a material can absorb. The higher this value, the more energy that material can absorb without changing temperature independently of its total mass. This is a material property, water having one of the highest, especially as a relatively safe heat transfer medium. A quantifiable measurement for this being that water can absorb ~4.5x more energy than aluminum of the same mass per degree change of temperature. Done with explaining the equations, now for some actual qualitative analysis. This involves assuming static quantities for certain variables to create proportions between either the one's on topic or to demonstrate a relationship between those variables. In this case, we'll look at Q, M, and Tsource: Take the equations and strip them down to a proportion between Q (heat transfer rate), dT (difference in heatsink to heatsource) and M (mass flow rate)these are the variables we can control in our computer. The rest we can assume to be relatively constant for the purposes of this discussion. Even within dT, we can assume that Tsink is relatively constant, since this would ultimately be the temperature of your room/environment. Mass flow rate is practically speaking the speed of your fans, and we’ll eliminate the variable of a watercooling pump and its speed from this to make it simpler. This leaves specifically Q (power consumption of the PC, Tsource (component temperature like CPU/GPU), and M (speed of cooling fans). While your computer is ‘idle’ in a relatively low power state, lets say 50W, this would require less Q (heat transfer rate) since there’s less heat being generated per second (Watts), therefore the Tsource (your CPU/GPU) doesn’t have to be as high to remove said heat, creating a proportionally lower dT (assuming constant fan speed). While your computer is under load, lets say 500W, the heat transfer rate will go up, requiring one of the equation’s variables to go up proportionally. This requires a change to either dT or M (mass flow rate), usually both. This results in a higher Tsource to create a higher dT and higher fan speeds to increase the mass flow rate, since its unlikely one would be able to compensate for 10x the amount of heat simply through an increase in dT (while maintaining operating limitations like 105C). Some caveats: Yes, a silicon semiconductor at a lower temperature will therefore have a lower resistance therefore being more efficient, but that’s an insignificant contribution to overall power consumption in the operating range of computers. The average power consumption, heat soak characteristics, and overall heat capacity of a computer does contribute. This is applicable to full eATX towers versus SFX systems, where a 500W draw SFX system will take far less time to heat soak than an eATX system which might have 2x the steel/aluminum and 10x the internal air volume. This will affect the time it takes for the whole system to reach equilibrium. Anyone else with knowledge of thermodynamics who would like to contribute to this discussion or if you find anything I can improve, I’ll edit the OP accordingly with citation. Feel free to ask questions and for clarifications, and I'll try as best as I can to not require a whole essay to explain. Most of the information I would need to reference would be in OP. An analogy for this using fluid dynamics is to take a tank of water with an inlet and outlet. If the flow into the tank exceeds the flow out of the tank, then the tank level will rise. However, the tank level might rise high enough for it to increase the head pressure on the outlet, therefore increasing the outlet flow, which may match the inlet flow rate once the tank reaches a certain level creating an equilibrium. Water in this analogy is equal to kinetic energy, where the inlet flow are the components generating heat, flow out being the heat transfer out via fans and the tank volume being the overall heat capacity of the system which includes the air inside, heatsinks, etc. Temperature would operate similarly to head pressure and therefore tank level. In this analogy as well, if there's no outlet, then the tank will overflow or become pressurized, just like a computer in a sealed environment will eventually shutdown because it'll overheat, regardless of how much it tries to thermal throttle with no energy out. So if there's energy going in, then there must be energy going out equal to what's going in, otherwise the kinetic energy will continue to rise. To full circle the analogy, neglecting water's surface tension, the tank would be perforated and slowly leaking water, just like how anything with a higher temperature than its surroundings would slowly leak energy to its surroundings and eventually reach equilibrium unless it has an active energy input. To flesh the analogy out more, my 'mythbusting' is that tank level = flow out of the tank; which isn't true, since its not considering flow in and volume of the tank. To put the importance of the tank's volume into perspective, a 1" diameter tube with 5" height of water creates the same head pressure as a 5 gallon drum with 5" height of water, just like how a GT1030 at 75W can operate at the same temperature as a RTX 4090 at 600W. They're both creating the same dT, but at drastically different wattages/volume.

Hello, I recently replaced my AIO cooler with the MSI MAG series CORELIQUID 280R Liquid Cooler, and Im not too sure what temps I had before the switch but now im running at 70*C on Idle and 88-91*C Under load, my CPU is the Ryzen 7 5800X with an Asus TUF Gaming Motherboard with an X570 chipset, Im using Core Temp and Open Hardware Monitor to look at the temps, and as im typing this my cpu is at 75*C. Im continuing to monitor my temps when doing things, Ive reapplied the thermal paste, reseated the cooler block and CPU, This cooler is one that I swapped out from my Girlfriends PC into mine and gave my old one to her because it was too big for her case so I cant swap them back to see, im wondering if these temps are normal for this cooler or if my pump is failing, thank you

Temperature input I'm looking for some input regarding my water-cooling setup. My temps seems to be higher than normal. Here is what I got going: - ASRock x570 Taichi - 5800x: PBO & Curve Opt enabled ( -15 offset) no manual clock boost - Liquid devil 7900xtx (stock settings) - Seasonic 1k watt PSU - Corsair 360mm:30mm rad for top (exhaust) - Corsair 240mm:30mm rad for side (intake) - Corsair XD5 cpu block - Corsair XD5 Pump/res - Lian Li uni fans ×5: 3 for exhaust, 2 for intake - One spare EK Vardar 120 fan for rear exhaust. - enclosed in Hyte Y60 - 2 1440p monitors: 1 27 inch for data and web, 30in for gaming and movies. I'm using CP2077 on ultra settings w ratracing and fsr 2.1 enabled as the "benchmark" I noticed that the GPU runs up to an average of 55c with the hot spot hitting a max of 94c. The CPU is running an average of 67-69C. according to HWinfo the entire system power draw is 600w (610 was the max). While these temps are slightly higher than I'd like I know they are well within the safe range. What concerns me is my water temps which on average hit high 30s low 40s. The highest being almost 45c. My computer is on a desk in a small office (approx 10x12) with AC. The ambient in the room is in the low to mid 20s (69-71f). Is there anything I could do to lower or maintain the water temps better, or is normal for this type of system? I can provide screenshots of the system and HWinfo if needed (when I get home). Thank you

Hello everyone, I'm Ivan. I live in Italy, and in these days we are facing a very hot weather. My room reach 30°C (about 86°F) and my PC runs very hot. Well... Not very hot but hotter than when I have 20-22°C room temp. I'm a technician, and I change every month or so thermal paste on both CPU and GPU. Now, the GPU runs at 60-70°C depending on what type of games I'm playing, but the CPU on idle stays at 60°C, when in early June and before, on idle stayed at 40-45°C. So, here it is my question: I have an Arctic Freezer eSports 34 DUO. Could a Cooler Master AIO 120 lower my CPU temps? And maybe a little bit even my GPU's temps, since the AIO throws directly out of my case all CPU's heat... Thank you to whoever will answer!

I attached a minute of using cinebench, note this is about a 30min AFTER playing 1 hour of apex on max 144hz 4k. Are these temperatures normal?

Hello, I have very weird problem and I have found that it has to do with temps of the card. The card is MSI MECH X2 RX6600 It powers off immediately, and needs about a minute to allow me to power on again, just like thermal emergency power down. I thought it was my fault because I dont have a good case, and my fan curve was about an open case i had before. But it never reaches 90C hotspot temp, yet alone 115C wich should be emergency power off temp. I have raised the power limit from 100W (core) to 115W (with MorePowerTool) but I keep the temps under control. It seems to happen at load, but not always, and not always at the same temp. Weird thing is that at stress test, i draw more watts, and have higher temps, but it does not power off. I have tested changing fan curve, but its never fast enough, only stock seems to never power off, but it is extremely loud and cool (hotspot 75C) and 2300rpm. I have a screenshot of a log, at the moment it powered off. I cant see anything wrong besides VRAM MHz, but thats at 0 for over 2 mins. Any ideas?

Recently built a friend a pc with a 12700, it’ll be used for average gaming, during gaming it stays at 40-55c. I’m running a Cinebench R23 benchmark and getting stable temps of 94c but reaching 97c, he will not be doing any cpu rendering work but I’m just a pinch worried about the long run, would this be a genuinely worrying temp? He has a 2 fan UpHere air cooler and 6 case fans, I applied a generous amount of thermal paste and built 10 pcs but never this high end. 12700 b660 plus D4 3070ti 650w 32gb

Hi y'all, So recently I upgraded my PC specs (Ram 32gbs -> 64 gbs) (Ryzen 5600g -> Ryzen 7 5800x) and I also have a MSI 4070, b550 motherboard, 650w power supply, and a Kraken z63 water cooling system. After adding the new parts to the system, I 've recently noticed the gpu rising in temperature. Temps read 50-60 degrees. The load usage ranges from 25%- 45% when idling and I don't know what's causing it. And when I play games, the gpu load reaches 98% load. Before I upgraded, I never had these problems. I also do have a three monitor setup too if that matters. Also, the CPU temps keep spiking randomly on idle as well. I tried looking at different possibilities and nothing has come up. Does anyone know what can be causing this? Is it the low wattage psu for all of these upgrades? Something to do with the bios? PLZ someone help me resolve this issue!

Hey guys! Installed a new hdd had issues with windows so reset bios and reinstalled windows 11. Windows is working all good etc. I wanted to check temps and everything to make sure it was working the same but my temps have gone up to 50 degrees and spikes to 60 degrees when idle? Which seems like a sudden change considering it was 30-40 idle before I reset the bios. I have a Ryzen 3600 , cooler master cpu cooler ,nzxt h510 case and a gigabyte x570 gaming x. Ran a stress test(prime 95) and was hitting 85 degrees. I am currently thinking I either installed the wrong chipset drivers or something else has gone wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Over the past weekend I noticed my 2070Super running a lot hotter than it used to. I didn't make much of it as I was playing the poorly optimised Jedi Survivor and thought things might just be because of that. I did nevertheless clean the PC this past Saturday anyway by blowing dust out and brushing out hard to reach areas with my "paint" brush. I did improve slightly but it was still pretty warm. Today, I jumped back into Destiny 2 which I pay all the time and I noticed the temps are still high and high and loud fan speeds. So I'm starting to worry a little. nothing in the setup as changed, everything is still the same. CPU doesn't seem to bat an eye. Temps went from never over 75 to anything from 80 - 85 and the machine is very loud now. Idle temps are around 32. I have no idea what it could be. I did rollback Nvidia drivers to see if that might be the thing, but it doesn't seem to be it. I am at a bit of a loss.

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H v2 Cooler: deepcool gammaxx 300 My r5 3600 heating about 50 degrees on idle and 80 degrees in stress test. Is it ok for him? Alot people writing that their temp in idle is about 40 degrees with box cooler. I tried different thermal pasts, but there was not any big difference between them.
