Cpu heat

[Lukakopa7]

I bought new tower cooler but when cpu is around 80C° cooler is just a little bit worm. Is that right?

Is that 80 C under idle? When gaming? When running Prime 95?

what are you doing to achieve the 80 c. If it is a high power game like warzone its fine then

Not sure about this CPU but this does seems kind of high for just gaming. Maybe someone who has experience with this CPU can provide more information.

So for some reason AMD doesn't even list the max safe temperature on their website for the 3300x, but if it's anything like literally any Zen 2 chip on the market, the TJMax is 95C.

 

If that's correct and you're at 80C, you're well within the safe temperature range, though cooler is always better. You could always try to remount your cooler to see if that's an issue. That's a lot of heat for a 4c CPU.

 

A side note, if anyone tells you 80C is good (or any temperature for that matter) without knowing the hardware/cooler/specific circumstance that they're talking about, I'd say ignore literally any tech advice they have to offer.
