What is the hottest you have ever seen your hardware?

[bgibbz]

So today, the long awaited Rainbow 6 Siege DLC launched but unfortunately i was out of town. I had the brilliant idea of downloading that onto my laptop, a several year old dell with a nvidia GT630M, an Intel I7 3537U 2 core 2.00 ghz. After like 30 min on the game, I noticed the WASD keys were getting REALLY warm. The aluminum above the keyboard was also scorching hot as well as the air coming out of the one and only exhaust vent on the side. I popped open my hardware monitor, and noticed that both the CPU and GPU were hovering around 96C with max temps over the past hour at 101C and 100C respectively. That is by far the hottest i have ever seen computer hardware get, and to be honest I am shocked it didn't thermal throttle at like 85C. I should really invest in one of those laptop cooler ! Anyways, what is the hottest you have ever seen computer hardware get?

The pump in my friend's AiO stopped working, while it was overclocked so the 4790k was at like 100c

[thekeemo]

Installed AIO from 2008 with peltier cooler.

Pump not working.

95C.

Dont think I ever unplugged something faster.

Wow both of you with pump failures, interesting. I wonder what the AIO manufacture would do if your CPU fried due to the pump failure.

it was a used 120mm from a prebuilt cyberpower

we got it back working though

CPU would shut down before then.

[GreezyJeezy]

The hottest my CPU has ever been (that I know of) is 71c

[failblox]

My family's 6-7 year old laptop's fan died once. I've never seen temps shoot up faster before. The cores easily went up to 100-102C.

[Tickletehpickle]

my gpu reaches 70C on heavy load

My Fanless GeForce 8400 GS idles at 70c+ and get to ~85c while playing flash video.

Yep, thats essetially my laptop. Apparently the tiny little fan in here cant handle a GPU and CPU. My laptop idles at like 60C on both GPU and CPU. My desktop under benchmark load barely tops 60 on the CPU and 80 on the GPU, both OCed

damn! my temps must have only been over a 100 for a split second before it throttled, otherwise i feel like the system would have blue screened or something like that.

105c macbook air cpu. Thats normal also.

 

95C on fbddr2. I burned by self on those suckers.

Wow that macbook temp. I gotta show this to my friends who say "macbooks are better at heat dissipation then every other computer because the whole chassis is a heat spreader"

Yep the chassie is also a heat spreader. I have ran this sucker way to hard. I have added my macbook air to a maya render farm. 

[MoonlightSylv]

I had an old pentium machine I forgot to put thermal paste on and it idled at like 50c and went up to around 70c while gaming.

I am honestly surprised it did that well without thermal paste. 

[0ld_Chicken]

100°c on my 4790k for less than a second back when I was aircooling and benchmarking with new overclocks. 

90°c on my gtx 980 while benching on air, heavily overclocked

 

both are fine and still run fantastic

my macbook pro retina stays at 100-102 when playing any remotely good game. The fans spin up to insanely loud levels and the whole chassis becomes warm with the bottom becoming uncomfortably hot. 

 

and also a defective radeon r7 360 which hit 96 degrees under load - heatsink was not mounted properly and did not contact the entire gpu core. 

[QueenDemetria]

I removed the heatsink from a Radeon X1550. The temp sensor stopped working at 120c, and it ran for another 4 seconds before combusting.

All you'd have to do is send your chip into intel for RMA, they have an extremely relaxed RMA policy in my friends experiences.

101 on a passively cooled GT 210 playing WoW. I've never had a CPU go over 85 though

[Dabombinable]

My Seagate Baracuda 2TB, 56^oC because the caddy. Runs at 30-32^oC without it+ a fan at 75%

My 4790K at 100^oC because the Thermal compound I'm using is pretty much the same stuff found in laptops, OEM desktops and some stereo systems

My GTX 970 G1 Gaming at 89^oC with clean fans+heatsink and the stock thermal compound

[Automobili3XF]

The day i did the chassis swap on my system i forgot to connect the PWM pin from the pump on the motherboard, i turned the system on, loaded AIDA64 and there it was , 85c on the hottest core of my E3...

[mariushm]

Probably around 98-100c when I still had a Radeon 4850.  It was fairly common for that generation of cards to run at that temperature or close to that.

 

I don't know about you guys and cpu temperatures, all my motherboards had cpu monitoring features in bios and options to shut down the system when temperature went above a particular temperature.

[Lays]

Hottest, my old 4790k in XTU at 5.1, it was like 101c hottest temp during the test lol.

 

Coldest, my 6700k on DICE at -75c.
