are these tempratures safe?

[Adrian18102001]

hi guys so i have an amd a6-6400k and i have it at 5ghz and its pretty stable sometimes i experience crashes but my temps at 100% load are at around 110 and sometimes go up to 115 for like 30 seconds are these temps safe? should i worry about anything? please let me know thanks

well if your system crashes then it's not a stable overclock, and those temps are very high. I don't know off the top of my head TJ max for that chip, but usually you want to be well under 90 degrees at the MOST. For example, an FX-8350 should remain under 80 degrees

If I were you first thing I would do is go out and buy an aftermarket cooler before you blow out the whole system!

that is way, way to high temps

If that's in Celsius then I'm surprised that it hasn't died yet.

I'm guessing you're the reason it was soo hot in Manchester in August. I guess you was using this PC around then huh?

yep its in celcius but i usually have the cpu at 4.2ghz with a boost of 4.5 and the peak temp under 100% load is 85

That's so far past being a safe temp.

85 degress celcius is good

not the best but its not dangerous or anything

85 is bad, 115 is going to kill it.

Not for an AMD chip. If I'm not mistaken, TJMax on your chip is 70C as it is...

85 isnt that bad under 100% load on a stress test when playing gta temps stay at around 65

According to the spec sheet, the thermal specification is 70C. Try not to stray overly far above it.

 

On another note, there's a chance your temperature readings from software may be off (115C?); if so you'll want to get that corrected first.

Download something like HWMonitor and leave it open while playing GTA. When you're done, observe what temperature HWMonitor claims your CPU is hitting. This isn't difficult. If you're provided proof that your CPU's maximum safe temperature is 70c, it's not wise to go beyond it. You shouldn't even be close to it. Clean the case fans. Blow the dust out of your case and CPU heatsink. Invest in some proper case fans and perhaps an aftermarket CPU cooler.

i have 4 good fans  and i regulary dust them out and my pc and it hits 70 degrees when at 3.4 with a boost of 3.7 so the thermal specification cant be true and i do use hardware monitor

I don't know what cooler you're using, but perhaps a fresh application of thermal paste will improve things. Other than that, try lowering the cpu vcore voltage. As long as you're doing proper stress testing to ensure stability, lower voltage will directly result in lower cpu temps.
