I9-9900K at 87c while Rendering

[ATK422]

Is it bad while rendering on Cycles  at 300 my CPU goes up to 84-87c?

[Sauron]

Depends on the cooler... it's a safe temperature either way

That's oddly cool for a 9900K

[Mateyyy]

I try to run CPUs at under 85C sustained, but if it just peaks higher for very short periods it's fine.

What cooler are you using?

Rendering at 32 on Viewport just went up to 82 and my cooler is a https://www.arctic.ac/en/Liquid-Freezer-II-120/ACFRE00067A

Ah, 120mm AIO. That's totally normal lol, if it worries you then swap to a 240/280mm AIO or chonky air cooler. But it's well below TjMax (typically 100C), and if you're running the chip stock it'll be fine doing that temp for extended periods. I never feel comfortable running an OCed chip hot, but stock ones will have 0 issues doing so, since they're well within the pretty conservative limits they're given.

Okay thank's and yeah I am running it a bit OCed but like nothing at all since its for XMP [100.80 BCLK]

Ah yeah, XMP shouldn't mess with CPU limits. If you have MCE (MultiCore Enhancement or something IIRC) on - some mobos enable it by default when XMP is enabled - that will OC your CPU, but otherwise XMP doesn't really touch the CPU itself.

Oh, that's actually better than expected then.

Yea with a 120 that's perfectly fine.

Surprisingly cool for a 9900k on a small liquid cooler

What would you consider unsafe?

considering how often people just don't monitor temps and nothing blows up for years, anything under 95C is fine, wouldn't worry about it unless it's 24/7 usage like that.

For a stock chip? 99-100C. My mid-2012 MacBook Pro is 8 years old now, the CPUs in those regularly sit at 70-80, up to 97C under load, had 0 issues. And that's a mobile chip, the desktop lads are a bit beefier. Stock chips can run really close to TjMax for a really long time before giving out. It's only once you're pushing them beyond stock limits that I'd start worrying about temps a bunch. For me, I don't like to have OCed chips ever get over 80C, but it's acceptable if they hit 85 or so on some hotter chips. This is also in Prime95 though, normal workloads are far, far cooler. For example, my 6950X maxes out at 80C, but in actual use it rarely breaks 60C.

Max for Intel is 105C. You obviously don't want to actually push it that far, but you're well under the thermal limits.

Over 96°, as per the official spec. You can go up to 105° before the pc shuts itself down to prevent damage but at 96° you start throttling and losing performance really quickly.
