ProjectB is right. 80C isn't warm. We're well past the 'hot as fuck' point once we hit 80C. Warm is like 40C, for a computer.

Well, I guess I should work on the cooling solution for my main system considering it runs at over 82C 24/7. 

Main System: Phobos

AMD Ryzen 7 2700 (8C/16T), ASRock B450 Steel Legend, 16GB G.SKILL Aegis DDR4 3000MHz, AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB (XFX), 960GB Crucial M500, 2TB Seagate BarraCuda, Windows 10 Pro for Workstations/macOS Catalina

 

Secondary System: York

Intel Core i7-2600 (4C/8T), ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3, 16GB GEIL Enhance Corsa DDR3 1600MHz, Zotac GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB, 240GB ADATA Ultimate SU650, Windows 10 Pro for Workstations

 

Older File Server: Yet to be named

Intel Pentium 4 HT (1C/2T), Intel D865GBF, 3GB DDR 400MHz, ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB (HIS), 80GB WD Caviar, 320GB Hitachi Deskstar, Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows Server 2003 R2

Technically that is safe, one shouldn't really worry until monitoring soft registers 95C, I just like being below 80.

Yeah. It is an older Core 2 Duo E8400 chip. It runs F@H at full power 24/7, but only on the CPU since there's no dedicated GPU that F@H supports in that system. I'm looking into a GTX 750 Ti which should perform decently for F@H without making the CPU boil.

I find CAM's temp monitoring wildly inaccurate, and AIDA64 isn't exactly stressful.

I do a encoding test (the most stressful thing I'll do on my pc)

100gb of uncompressed 768p -> 4K 15fps at 20MBit/s

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Prime95 small FFT, then large FFT, then mixed, as well as also running a benchmark or three (Cinebench R15, Corona, and RealBench are my preferred), whilst watching youtube and browsing the forum. Sometimes, also browsing some sites of a certain nature.

 

And so far, installing a driver for a DualShock 4 hasn't crashed my system.

rigHT now my CPU and GPU are stressed at 100% to make me $3 a day :P and I do LTT/YouTube/discord on that too

My most stressful game is how much can I do while running Prime95.

 

And nothing has made my Project Enza crash yet, despite my efforts.

Bruh Paladins of all things is more crash prone then even MC, even CS crashes overclocks that seem really solid lol. Game testing is usually better then benchmarks from my testing. 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

I was talking to someone today who I might potentially build a rather high end system for. He asked how much Core i9's are going for. To be fair, it's actually pretty reasonable to assume that might exist.

Lol this is relevant now

Last night I overheard someone talking about their "Jail-broken Kindle Fire TV Stick".  He explained that jailbreaking meant "bypassing all kinds of firewalls".

I heard someone having a "Pentium 4 with infinite FPS at 8K 144hz with a 1080 Ti because it had a high clock speed"

 

Also he jailbroke it to make it faster and raised the clocks.

I honestly don't care, it's better to use what you have then spend more that won't be used
