Cpu Heating Problem

[Arun46682]

Hi guys my Frnd have 3 yrs core i3 his Cpu run hot at Load but at Idle it runs Near 30-40 if he change Cpu cooler is it gonna effect the cooling under load or Problem gonna stay ? Thank you

How hot does it run under load?

[Veltrix]

30-40 on idle should be fine and that idle just depends on how hot the room temp is. I would be worried if it idles 55-65 maybe in my opinion. But we would need to know how hot it runs under load.

30-40 degrees is fine! intel CPU's can handle quite alot of heat, possibly 65-80ish anyways, just monitor the temps for a while and if it starts to go up and up, then get a aftermarket cooler.

Sorry i forgot it runs on 80 Degree even if he play Games Like Counter strike this problem has been started since 3-4 months b4 so he is thinking to buy Cooler Master TX3 evo for cooling but is it gonna affect Load Temps ?

clean the dust out of the computer that increases heat and adds weight to fans.

A few other questions, how long has it been like that and what is the room temp? It's still abnormally high either way like tacticalpanic said clear any dust out and see if things improve, if not then reseat the stock heatsink.

 

If you are going to upgrade to an aftermarket cooler you would be better off paying that little bit extra to get the Hyper 212, it's great for the price! :)

Well we did Dustout and applied New Thermal Paste and clean Heatsink to but that didnt create any difference  and about Room temperature its the only thing i dont know but i think its not issue becoz Room temps were normal it wasnt like his room getting hot it was actually Cooler.

Hyper 212 doesnt Fit in his Budget becoz he trying to Squezze lots of things in it

The Coolermaster TX3 should make some difference but don't expect a huge difference and also what program are you using to see the temperature?

[Arun46682]

@killerx525 Coretemp or Realtemp And How much diff are u talking about 60 at Full load or 70 ?

[killerx525]

Possibly 70C but it would depend on the ambient temperature and the airflow in the case.

[Arun46682]

what if we remove side doors does it going to help ?

[killerx525]

It would help a bit but your best bet is to get a beefier cooler like the Hyper 212+.

[Arun46682]

His budget Tight becoz he's trying to Get Mouse , Mousepad , GFX ,New PSU, Cpu Cooler, Headset in 300$ i dont think so he can Squezze this Cooler

80 degrees under load is fine.  Intel CPUs are designed to handle temperatures up to 100C and include a automatic throttling feature if your CPU exceeds a certain temperature, to prevent self-damage.  You'll be fine for now, until he can afford an aftermarket cooler.

80 deg celsius isn't too hot for that chip. As above users have said, cleaning out dust and lowering the room temperature are good and free ways of helping the cpu temps. And a good CPU tower will never be a replacement for sufficient amount of intake fans in the case.
