Graphics card are made to be hot, so 95 celsius is as high as you should let it go fully boosted, but it shouldn't stay like that.

CPUs...keep below 80 degrees for full load.

 

As long as you have decent idle temps and you're not at full load all the time you should be fine.

Both the cpu and gpu can handle temps up to 90 degrees, but I usually like them to stay around 75-82 degrees. I really depends there is no average.

Hello,

I was wondering what are considered average GPU & CPU temperatures with either unit under full load? What temperature for each would lead to damage or possibly even destruction?

Thanks 

depeds on your cooling, I like mine to stay as cool as possible. everything above 90-95° may cause damage, i think by amd is this a little bit higher by 100°C or so. My rig idles at 30° and under full load it doesn't get over 60°C

For Intel CPUs the maximum operating temperature is usually shown on Ark as TCASE (Case Temperature is the maximum temperature allowed at the processor Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS).)

For AMD CPUs I haven't found a reliable source of TCASE

 

I don't have all that much experience with GPU temperatures, but from what I know they can get into the lower 90's without it being much of a problem.

 

Regardless, lower is always better when it comes to temperatures. If you're seeing high numbers it's always a good indicative that you should either clean your machine or start considering better cooling.

Average temps aren't that easy to determine with PC hardware. Too many factors. And architecture plays one part. But normal temps in most cases are in 50-65C for CPU and 55-75C for GPU.
