Is it safe for the cpu.

[amir786_z]

Hi there guys i use xiliosoft video converter to convert my videos. In the process it uses 100% cpu and temp shoots upto 90C then remain at 88 after fan kicks in. i just wanna know if its safe?

what CPU

What CPU and cooler are you using?

[Vivilacqua1]

I used to use the intel stock cooler on my 4790k, and it was at 88c at full load. As long as you are not at 88c for long periods of time, you would be fine, If you have a stock cooler I would recommend the cheap but good upgrade of the hyper 212 evo just to keep your temps down a little and increase the life of your cpu.

Safe is a relative term. Those kinds of temps for what I'm going to assume is 15-25min at a time (I also use Xilisoft) is fairly risky long-term. No one can give you metrics for how much you're shortening the lifespan of the CPU, but it certainly wasn't designed to be pinned above 80C for any considerable amount of time. Thermal max is ~100C and the computer will shut itself off before the CPU gets permanently damaged. This is assuming you're using an Intel CPU.

 

Short answer, no. Get an aftermarket cooler. If you already have an aftermarket cooler check the mounts and replace the TIM.

Guys i have ROG G750JS

No, and you will be throttling at such a high temp.

And my cpu is I7_4710HQ

That changes things slightly. T Max is 100C, but it's still not a wise idea to turn your laptop into a baking tray. I would try to aim for 80C as the max while converting, although any temp below 100C is arguably "safe".

 

You can do a few things to try to keep the temps down. Get a cooling pad, make sure the intake and exhaust fans have ample flow, clean the laptop, etc. Xilisoft by default will utilize 100% of the CPU. You can gimp the software by going to the settings screen and choosing to limit the core usage to below 4->

 

Select "Customize core number" and change it to 2. See if that reduces the temps by any considerable amount, although it will certainly increase your conversion times.

HQ=Laptop so my answer is NO! It is not good for a long amount of time! Infact a hot CPU is bad and if the GPU turns hot also you may fry the Mobo!!!

Thanks. I dont know why my gtx870 cuda acceleration is inactive.

[Nena Trinity]

If its on stock no its not normal, if its overclocked then do not overclock with stock cooler.

Laptops has only one cooler!

Thanks. I dont know why my gtx870 cuda acceleration is inactive.

I have had numerous angry emails between myself and their tech support over the last year regarding GPU acceleration. I had SLI 580's for raw compute when I first built this machine, specifically to work with Xilisoft and my video editing suites. In order to get the CUDA accel active within Xilisoft I had to use an Nvidia driver release from 3 years ago, and I could not use SLI.

 

I would assume the same thing is happening with the 870, you'll likely need to run an older driver to be compatible with their CUDA accel, although my current driver is working with my 970's. It seems that their driver support is dependent upon when your card was released, rather than the newest driver available. I would shoot their support email a message and see what they come back with. Expect a response in 4-7 business days.

Thanks guys

Very stupid question. If some cores max at 100% and others at 0 will this be bad for cpu?

Nah shouldnt be!

Thanks guys really appreciate it.
