Safe temp for CPU

[tahmid133712]

I've a Ryzen 5 1600x @3.7ghz, Cinibench R20 pushes the temps to 65°C, gives a score of 2532 and idles at 33°C.

 

I'm using a stock Wraith Spire (non RGB, copper base version) and arctic MX-4, my case is a Dell Optiplex 990 MT. 

Are these temperatures fine?

 

And for some reason I can't seem to be able to OC above 3.85ghz, this CPU can boost up to 4.1 but it crashes at anything above 3.9.

What voltage are you putting through the cpu?

Btw temps are nice and chilly.

I think the voltage is set to 1.3 but I haven't changed it.

Yes sir this temps are more than alright. Did you run any other benchmarks? Games? Hows the temps in different tasks

Just keep adding a bit more voltage until you hit 4 ghz or the temps hit over 90c.

Edit Amd doesn't recomend going over 1.45 volts and make sure the overclock is stable by running like cinebench r20 or something.

Rainbow six at 120 fps keeps the CPU at 58°C max, same with GTA 5. I haven't run any other benchmarks, which ones would you suggest?

I'll give it a go

That's not how one should test CPU temperatures,

I recommend torturing the CPU with at least a hour of Prime95,I usually do 3.

IF IT GOES ABOVE 85°C ABORT IMMEDIATELY.

Is Prime95 free to use?

You want the minimum voltage required to hit the target frequency,too much voltage can kill the chip,and more voltage means more heat so try to follow that rule.

Yep,I recommend to use the Small FFTs option in the program.

There are two schools on safe temps, though I understand the max function number varies by cpu to some degree.  One is generally 90c and the other is generally 75c. The 75 is much older.  The theory behind the 75c says that even 90c should still allow the chip to last for multiple years.  The 75c number pushes indefinite.  I kept my 4770k under 75c and it’s still going strong, so I guess there’s an argument that it’s overkill.
