Is my CPU too hot?

[geXa]

I'll leave my PC specs down bellow but when im gaming (which is pretty much all I do on my PC, my temps are around 50-60 degrees.

Today I was rendering a 35min video and These where my temps, Is this too high? should I be worried?

 

Thanks

The temps are definitely a little hot. I like to keep my CPU around 70-75C at the max, but it's safe up to about 85C.

In short, yes, that's too hot. 80 and below is comfortably fine, but you're just a tad over that.

I hardly ever render videos so my CPU being at these temps for about 30 mins a week isnt a problem?

Will it cause any problems though? because its only at these temps for around 30 mins per week.

"Haswell turned out to be much hotter in real life than its predecessor. The maximum permissible temperature of its CPU cores is 100°C but even in nominal operational modes Core i7-4770K would get as hot as 75-80°C even with a high-performance air-cooler."

at stock clocks with a h60 cooler that is pretty terrible tbh. you might wan to go into the bios and manually set the voltage so that its a bit lower.

so its nothing to be worried about then?

I have an adapter for the NF-F12 on my Radiator which limits it to 50% speed (I hate the sound of fans)

I wouldn't say it would be a problem, no.

its still terrible in theory you should get those kind of temps on the stock cooler, not a h60. at 3.9ghz its barely faster than a fast i5 as well.

You should be aiming for lower temps for sure and so put the work in to get it done.  Still what I presented you was a guideline and based on what they say about Haswell much hotter temps are expected compared to its predecessor.

That's fine. Hotter than most PC users like, but fine.

It's fine up till about 100 degrees C.

they're fine, everyone on here saying its too hot is freaking out over nothing.  rendering will typically load your cpu 100%, so letting it run for a while will get toasty, especially with a low fluid capacity AIO.  

 

and to those saying you get those kinda temps on the stock cooler, thats BS.  I've encoded vids on my 4770k at stock clocks on the stock cooler, its got over a 100 pretty quick.  I ended up disabling multi-threading to keep temps in the double digits.

 

so short answer is, while its toasty, its within the design spec of intel, and is completely fine.  if you really want lower temps you need to get a better cooler, and there is certainly nothing wrong with your cpu or cooler.

Don't worry about it. I have an i7 4790k @ 4.00Ghz with the stock cooler and it floats between 75C-80C whenever I render a video with Sony vegas, which is more than 30mins a week.
