Computer getting hot

[Felkel]

So I'm planning to start a YouTube channel and all that. I got a lot of stuff set for me, but I'm just worried right now how my computer will be handling stuff.

 

I'm currently trying to export a random 30min video from an editing program and my computer is getting kinda hot. I'll probably only do about 15-20min videos but how bad could my computer take it if I edit and export about 5-7 videos in a row with not too much downtime?

What are the temperatures that are making you think it's too hot? 

Is it a laptop or desktop?

Can you list the full specs?

It's a desktop and I can feel it getting pretty hot on the outside. As you can tell I'm a newbie so I don't know all the specs

60C is a perfectly safe temp for hardware (my custom watercooled i7 hits that in games), but that's still 140F, noticeably hot if you were to touch it. Hot for people =/= hot for the PC. Like I said, most can handle up to 85C fine with 0 long term issues at all, and that's 185F.

Download HWmonitor and see what temps you are getting while doing the transfer if it's under or at 85c it's more than likely fine however that's a little hot for my liking, if it's over 85c you'll want to get a different cooler or see if there is an issue with the one you have that is causing it to over heat. If it's an older i3 processor it could also be an issue with the processor being pushed to hard to do the tasks of the program causing it to overheat in which case you may want to look into a new CPU.

The computer is about 5 years old so I'm guessing the i3 processor is a bit old. Amyway here's a picture of some temps

It is supposed to get hot, that is how it works.  As Zando Bob said even 85c would be ok so long as you don't reach TJ MAX your good.  Im not sure what it is on that particular CPU but ya I think your fine.

The thermal paste is possibly dried up, does anyone you know have some thermal paste for you to borrow?

Probably. Thanks
