My pc is heating up

[Jonkero]

Hey guys i'm new here, and i have a problem ,

i live in hot state , like 30celcius coming to my apartment.

i have an issue, i have overclocked my cpu and got watercooling on it. When it was winter there wasn't problems cpu was at full load 56c

 but now when it's summer my cpu is at full load 63c

and motherboard is 42c

should i worry or just play normally, 

my case is old midtower case, i only have 2 fans st front and 2 watercooling fans at rear.

sorry my bad english, im from finland

Check your CPU on the manufacturer's website for heat tolerances.  I'm not sure about AMD, but Intel gives maximum recommended at the CPU heat spreader on their CPU datasheets (T case).

I have legend i7-920 and asus p6t se mobo, temps havent ever been over 60 degrees

I've got something similar, i7-930 on a gigabyte X58A-UD9 board.  Massive heatsink and noctua fan, never really above 55 C at continuous load (non-OCed though).

Some people says its normal to get above 60 C  but still thinking it's much bc ever been so high, 

and it's stable 3,8ghz with 1.2 voltage

Tcase on the 920 according to Intel:

 

https://ark.intel.com/products/37147/Intel-Core-i7-920-Processor-8M-Cache-2_66-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI

 

67.9 degrees C.

Probably the biggest risk you'd run is the board shutting down the unit because of temperature readings from the thermal sensors near the CPU.  Think it'd need to be hotter to do serious damage.  Might want to get a better cooler, but better yet better airflow/temps in your room and case.

try cleaning any dust that may have accumulated over time on the radiator(s)/dust filters

 

also finland isn't that hot not sure how you have 30C in your apartment?

Sun is coming right to my pc from window so its mostly 25C to my apartment, and was thinking to clean dust but cant get more airflow bc case only have 3 fan slots

You put a CPU with 67.9°C as the max to .2 over the turbo frequency.  Under load, it should get pretty hot depending on your cooling.  Humidity and a hotter environment will increase the heat.

1.25 was stock. Voltage so it's less than normal

You undervolted it?....

Well yes, i overclocked and got 3,8ghz stable with less voltage why not

Because that can be why you're getting more heat.  Try increasing the voltage and check temps.

Oh wasnt thinking about that , i will, not much tho? It's 1.2 now so should i test 1.25 or less?:)

Test at stock first.  

I will?

Are you kidding me? 63C is fine. I had a Xeon that was constantly 95C+ while gaming, and it still works. Intel's a bit anal on the first gen Core i processors, they can get to 100C+ with no issues except throttling.

Oh, so i don't have to worry about cpu temps at all?^^ what about my mobo it's 42-44C at full load ?:)

That's full load. How many case fans do you have? The problem may be that you don't have enough airflow in your case to bring fresh air into it. You could just be gaming on an oven.

So my temps are high? I stresstested my pc and cpu went 62 max and mobo was 42C 

and well my case is so old so there isn' than 2 front fan and 1rear fan what im using for watercooling now..

Are they high? Not high enough to cause problems, if that's what you're wondering.

Show me a pic of your configuration if you can.

Here some pics:P

I meant your PC chassis, not the BIOS. If the airflow is restricted at all the PC can get hot inside. My mobo is usually at 45C, and I have three 120mm up front. The problem with running cool is when things heat up you freak out...nothing to worry about.

 

Is that an Asus board?

My friend has an Asus H55 LE.

 

Post the pics any time.

Increasing voltage will only raise temps.

 

@Jonkero Your temps are fine.

Well the odd thing was, i increased cpu voltage like 0.02 and my mobo is now 35 and cpu max was 56c
