Posted March 14, 2019 Hello everyone, I was just wondering what the optimal temperature would be for a PC. I have just recently built my first PC and I noticed that my average temperature is around 80 degrees idle and 95 degrees Fahrenheit while playing games. I have one 80mm exhaust fan and a one 120mm intake. Additionally, there are no other vents/places for me to put any other fans. Was just wondering if I need to upgrade and get a better case + more and better fans.Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooler would be better, but if your system isn't throttling due to heat, you won't see a difference. That said, with a better cooler and airflow you could overclock your system, as long as you have overclockable components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 14, 2019 80 to 95 Fahrenheit (25 to 35 Celsius) even under load means you have the best possible turbo/overclocking headroom. That said, it's surprising low for an air cooled system. Are you sure you are not reading it wrong? "Mankind’s greatest mistake will be its inability to control the technology it has created." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im only running a Ryzen 3 2200g but just ordered a GTX 1050 ti FTW which will be arriving in a couple of days and was just in fear of possible damaging any of my components.

Because, if its that low, your cooling is really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were getting those temps in Celsius then I would be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 14, 2019 Temperature is dependent on ambient temperature. If your room is 20°C (Sorry Canadian here) a computer running at 40°C is pretty good (10° difference in temperature) . You really only have trouble when the CPU is starting to hit 100°C (212°F). If you chassis doesn't have room for anymore fans and your still at 35°C you still have alot of room to play with in terms of temperature. Just now, inteli7.Ti said: Thats what I was thinking. Juiecey, are you sure its in fahrenheit? Because, if its that low, your cooling is really good! The screenshot says its in Fahrenheit. But alot of times software temps for CPU are never 100% accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 14, 2019 Author Ok, thanks for the help, as far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be any type of CPU bottle necking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 14, 2019 Use HWinfo for actually good monitoring software. I dont think you're having problems with temperature though, 2200G at stock with stock cooler should run pretty cool.

Download AMDs own tool, or use MSI Afterburner or HWiNFO64 to view CPU temps. For HDD your temps are normal as drives can get up to 50C (122F). Desired load temp for your CPU is under 70C (158F). For future note, we use universally Celsius when talking about PC hardware. Actually, only HDD/SSD/ODD mounting size and monitors use imperial units. For some odd reson. ^^^^ That's my post ^^^^ <-- This is me --- That's your scrollbar --> vvvv Who's there? vvvv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
