Thinkcentre? Is it the same

[HJ1009]

Hi guys this is Austin 

opps type wrong

hi guys, I got a spare pc that is Lenovo Thinkcentre M92, Fitted With a i5 3470 inside, but the temperature when underload is 70more degree Celsius!!!!

can I change the cooler with any after market cooler. I think it is a lga 1155 cpu so is the motherboard have the four screws holes that same with other motherboard?

What size of computer is it? There is an entire range of sizes for the M92 series.

 

Also 70C isn't that hot for a CPU, anything under 85C is fine.

70C is just fine

Technically anything under 96C is fine for intel, of course the lower the better.

if you run 90°C constantly you cant expect your cpu to work for more than a year at best. Also some intel cpus have a TJmax of 95°C if i am not mistaken

96C is when it starts to throttle, below that is honestly just fine. Many laptops last for years with cpus going well over 90C under load. Of course 24/7 it's not great, but desktop cpus aren't designed for 24/7 loads anyway - even at lower temperatures. CPUs don't die of heat anymore, they haven't for years. They shut themselves down before they reach the danger zone. What you want to avoid is throttling (for performance reasons). The only way to truly risk damaging a modern cpu is with serious overvolting.

if this was true, then all gpus and cpus would come with a 95°C temp target, but they dont and i wouldnt really ris kthat with a 300€+ cpu

It doesn't depend on "risk" factor, every cpu is different (gpus are another matter entirely since everything on the card is packed together and can suffer indirect heat damage if the gpu goes too hot) and has its own heat output and heat tolerance. There are safeguards in all modern cpus that prevent dangerous temperatures by shutting down the cpu. Maybe you don't know this, but FX series cpus began throttling at 64C (and were easier to cool). 70C on an FX would NOT have been just fine (although again, no drastic damage to the chip would happen).

cpus and gpus are working the exact same way and are made of the same materials

So... you didn't even read what I wrote.

Mine is the middle one but if it get 70c the fans get very loud I can't accept it

I need reply guys
