Cpu is getting too hot!

[Shantonu Saha]

My pc specs are:

• Cpu: i3 4150 (3.5 ghz),
• Gpu: gtx 1050 ti
• Mobo: msi h81m-e33
• Psu: cooler master gx 450
• 120 gb intel ssd, 500 gb external hd
• Ram: 8 gb g-skill
• 1080p viewsonic monitor

My problem is, I play games and also record them, Recently while playing resident evil 2(remake) my cpu temperature goes 70-80 degree celsius and stays like that, I record it for 1 hour, Is it harmful for my pc if i do that everyday?

(Note: it happens while playing triple-A games released in last two years, apart from those all other games are fine, temperature remains 50-55 degree)

The Intel stock cooler is crap - clean it and ramp fan speed or replace it

70-80c is fine.

Welcome to the forums!

 

Generally your hardware is safe below 85C. It varies from generation to generation, but almost every CPU and GPU has built-in protections that either throttles (slows down) the chip or turns it off in order to stay below 90 degrees - that's when it starts to get dangerous.

 

If you want a solution that's quieter and will keep your CPU temps and your worries low, you can grab something for cheap. Just make sure it's got heat pipes, like this one.
