Should this range considered too hot for my GPU/CPU?

Thanks , also I check on the GALAX Website for my GTX 1060 3GB , it says "High Demanding Game" with 65~ C

http://www.galax.com/en/graphics-card/galax-geforce-gtx-1060-oc-3gb.html

 

does this means if it reach somewhere or exact 65 or more = should stop or just not that much?

Nah. The website states that 65C with demanding games is normal and to be expected. Anything lower is even better. Quick rule of thumb. A CPU should not reach higher then 90C on a hot day. Most people use a max temp of 80C, which is perfectly reasonable. Same goes somewhat for Graphic cards. Not higher then 90C and you are fine. The lower the better. I generally set my fan curve so it can never reach higher then 75C. (I tend to keep my GPU's cooler then my CPU's)

 

Anyhow, those are perfectly normal temps. Nothing to worry about. 

Since I dont know which topic section to go ,this maybe the place

 

CPU : AMD FX8320E 3.2GHZ (With a Seidon 120v v3+ Push/Pull AIO in Silent Mode)

 

MB : 970A-D3P REV 2.0

 

GPU : GALAX 1060 3GB - rpm around 800-1000 , it's two fans


CPU Temps : 19-35c during Idle and Browsing , No Lower than 30 and stays around 41-50c during gaming (Games in test are RB6,Fortnite and Dota2 with most V-Sync on and 60FPS Cap , settings are mixed mid-low)

 

More Specific on browsing : Chrome , maximum of 5-6 tabs , watching 1-3 twitch streams at 480-360p

 

If room is very cool , browsing could go 13-16 sometime

 

GPU Temps : 31-33c during Idle and Browsing , Around 44-53c during gaming (same games)

for CSGO would be 56c at Mirage with low graphics and no FPS CAP

 

Programs that I open background : HWMonitor , Discord , Steam , sometime Spotify

 

I turn on air conditioner in my room too , so my room is kinda cool (when I lay my hand to touch on the case. it very cool)

 

just want to know , many friends tells me that 50c should not considered. it's just my worried and OCD about Temps and things such

When I game my GPU reach 85-90 c and it is fine.

we have the same cpu there, turning of turbo mode will lower that 50 deg C... turbo mode of FX cpu is crazy injecting very high voltage just to reach 4.0GHz on turbo mode.. 

 

but on top of that no worries on your cpu temp it is still normal.

I see , hwmonitor will go to 4.0ghz during gaming , the powers package said in "W" with maximum of sometimes 60w - is this a too much and danger W or not? 60W is just rarely on gaming. Elsewhere during small gaming or watch streaming will be 34-36 to 51w , mainly stays around 41-47w 

 

Also , If I let this go. I mean I never touch the bios nor the turbo mode settings (I dont know what they're set to , maybe auto) - just let the options be that way I'm still fine right? my CPU is about 2yrs old 

 

oops , forgot about voltage - on HWMonitor's "CPU VCORE"

will range at lowest 0.864V to Max of 1.404V - I assume it's going up and down from my usage , I search somewhere saying its safe range

 

I know a little that CPU will last very long

see that? 1.404v for 4.0GHz turbo... hahaha too much voltage... and yes you are still safe on that range and yes FX cpu are built for that. 

 

1.225v for 4.0GHz is enough if you manually overclock it. And that voltage 1.404v is for 4.5GHz

 

you are still good, safe and sound. 

no worries. game on!
