Need a 60-70 range, I'd go up to 70, then I'd be downclocking.

 

It has run above 90 deg tho, when I connected my AOI watercooler wrongly and shorted it. Thought it'd be cool to screenshot the >500MHz I was getting.

Excuse my broken keyboard ☺

Over 80 is hot, over 85 is too hot IMO.

Mine never tops 65 though, so I think I'm good. My GPU, though... 81 degrees under max load :/

You have an RX 480 Nitro? I have an R9 390 Nitro and it never hits 80C. Usually stays around 70C.

Wait he has an RX 480? I have an RX 480 too, IS it a coincidence that our both @ThinkWithPortals have same gpu and same temps?

According to his signature he does.

85C, its the temp my CPU gets to with my NH-D14 and 4.7GHz overclock on 1.335V in the summer. never above that. i had to turn down my overclock from 4.7GHz to 4.5GHz previuesly because my ShadowRock 2 didnt handle it when it got hot lol

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...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I do indeed.

 

It may be something to do with my case. Pretty bad airflow for the GPU, plus Sapphire's RX 480 cooler isn't the best in the way of temps anyway. Mind you, it's factory overclocked by around 100MHz, so that's probably negatively affected temps too. Maybe I'll just set it to reference speed, live with the slightly lower framerates but decrease noise and heat... decisions decisions.

It can't be worse than THIS

Oh wait, I'm actually on the fence about a sudden shut down at 100C, or at all. Mostly because I'm not sure how the CPU would like its cooler to suddenly shut off. Resetting the computer or closing all programs should be first. If the CPU temps do not improve, then shut down.

 

But then again car engines are shut off suddenly all the time for no worse for wear.

The heat sink looks like they stuck a bunch of these on there: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/518-95AB/345-1055-ND/340668

In AVX stress test I don't care as long as it doesn't throttle. In real world use 70-80 at high work load.

amds temp sensors are normally 20 below what they should be, so your real temp is around 60C

noooooooo

OC, i would let it get to about 75C Max, its more stable that way. GPU stays at 62C under load, 68C when i Overclock, and its just stable.
