Temps While Folding

[Solrix]

My GPU temps on my reference 650 ti boost while folding get up to 71C. My CPU tends to hang around 50C. Am i safe to fold for extended periods of time with those temps?

You should be fine. Just don't be TOO surprised if one of the two dies in ~2 years if you fold on it 24/7

I mostly fold during the day while at work. I am planning on some upgrades in a few months anyway

It will shorten the lifespan of the components if they run at those temps for a long tome, but not by much Those temps are perfectly normal, and below the max temps for a GPU and CPU. (85 degrees for a CPU, and 105 degrees for a GPU ~ correct me if I'm wrong)

Personally I would not feel comfortable folding at those temps 24/7, so I would give your PC a rest at least for a good 4-5 hours per day

Then fold away my friend

That's pretty much true for all Intel chips.

 

AMD on the other hand... My laptop's CPU's TJMAX is 115c... so yea...

Some chips you shouldn't run at more than 65c (I don't remember the names of those though)

Intel says they can max out at 110C but I would never let CPU near that temp.

not for amd cpus

my cpu temp goes to 60c will it shorten my lifespan for much?

My fx-6300.

Unfort, it gets to 70 degrees when folding for me, and stock cooler fan got up to 5300 RPM...

not sure what the best answer guy is talking about, 50 degrees Celsius on the cpu is very low and PERFECTLY fine, just fold away, there's no reason to give it "breaks" from folding, computers don't really work like that  , as for the gpu, yeah that's abit on the higher side but i wouldn't worry much about that either, by default folding will decrease lifespan a wee bit because it's putting all your hardware at 100% load.

[dtronicsuk]

thats fine mate

 

when im folding/mining i get gpu of 75'c and cpu of 55'c

 

the thermal limit for most cpu's is 62'c

 

and gpu's can run up to 95'c without much problems
