CPU temperature now this is serious!

[lovingGamer]

Okay while playing BF3 my CPU temps was 71C -72C (My CPU has never hit 70C while playing BF3)

My Country temperature now is 28 

 

My CPU is I3 4150

Yeah that's good, you should worry after 90+ degrees C.

Stop worrying.

[blu4]

Higher ambient temp, higher CPU temp

[ShadowCaptain]

Temps are high but perfectly safe and normal

[vorticalbox]

tcase of that CPU is 72C, i wouldn't be OK with it being 71-72

Okay now while browsing through Chrome only that i'm getting 55 C on my CPU

[lovingGamer]

tcase of that CPU is 72C, i wouldn't be OK with it being 71-72

yeah i saw that too

T_CASE 72°C

 

 

And it's really scaring me

Are you sure about that 90C on I3

I have my computer folding with CPU temps at 71-74 Deg C the whole day. I dont think you should bother since you are only playing BF3 for a while.

Hmm seems quite low a threshold, what cooler etc, is it attached properly? good enough air flow?

[Thorium19]

First thing I would do is if possible, reseat the cooler and replace the thermal paste, just to check whether it's a simple fix. After that, it might be the case of getting a new cooler if the issue hasn't been resolved.

stock cooling. My case is opened cause it sucks at air flow.

I'd still check the cooler to make sure that's not the issue and reason for the sudden spike.

With an ambient of 28c and a "load" temp of 70c that's quite good. My G3258 is sitting at ~80c under load but I have better cooling/airflow (but it's overclocked a decent amount).

My I3 4150 is at 72C 

Look at this:

you shouldn't go above tcase <- this is the max temp you can run the CPU at 24/7 for the length of the warranty.

Guys the Tcase of a CPU is the temperature at the internal heat spreader where it meets the CPU.

There are no sensors there - the only way to measure this is to have it delidded or drilled so that an external temperature probe sensor can reach that area - I've had my work do this to a faulty i7 4790k to prove to Intel it was sold as defective stock.

The CPU cores will be a lot higher temperature compared to that of the Tcase which is why people quote '90c is fine' nod the like. Bear in mind your CPU will have safety features that stop it from going further than 100-105c for permanent damage (usually by undervolting).

I personally find as long as it operates below 85c for extended periods it will not give any problems. FYI. my current 4790k 4.8Ghz will hit 76c under extreme loads during benchmarks and this is perfectly fine for aircooling.

Running in the 70c range is absolutely fine, and given you high ambient temperature is actually pretty decent temp reading for your cores. You don't know the Tcase unless you voided you warranty and fiddled with the chip and attached an external temp probe.

76C under extreme load, but i get 72C while playing BF3

[CapricaBuccaneers]

I get 73c playing The Witcher 3 easily. Again this is nothing to worry about because I'd be surprised if the Tcase was above 60c when your cores are at that temp. (This is from memory of testing my faulty 4790k).

Just to reaffirm if my CPU stays below 80c, I don't even think about it - you're all good on temps.

are you 101% sure? my cpu is i3 4150

I forgot to mention that I live in the NW of England and my ambient temperatures are usually 18-19c here. You said your ambient temp is 28c so let's do a quick comparison:

Let's say we both were a bit wrong and mine should be 20c, yours is 26c - your CPU here in my house would be running ~6c lower.

72-6=66c

That's a 'quick and dirty' type of comparison as Luke puts it, 66 c while gaming would be really good. Your CPU is actually running fine and the hot air in your county is pushing up your temperature reading.

Yes I'm sure you are absolutely fine for temps - if you don't hit 80c whilst playing BF3 you don't even need to think about it - game on.

So what your saying is tcase is the temp at the bit between the cores and the hsi and the fact that a temp sensor not there is higher than tcase is fine?

Heat lowers as it moves from the source so having the cpu at it's tcase away from there the core is logically means the cores are hotter then the tcase.

Again that's fine is it?

He needs ti change that thermal paste, reseat and get some actual air flow going. Having the side off doesn't puts cool air into the case.

"has never hit" so you've been running it for a while and this isn't a new build?  You also said open case, so have to checked to see if your heatsink is dirty?  Dust buildup and increase in ambient could account for it...  And as others have said those temps for perfectly safe.

My build is 3 weeks old. I just have an old case, with no airflow so that is why i keep it opened
