Are these tempratures normal?

[IndioBravo]

Hey everyone,

 

 

 

Lately I have been experimenting micro stutters on some games (pubg, r6 siege) but with high fps (100+ on 144hz monitor). I figured it could be cpu bottleneck to my gpu (i7 2600 vs gtx 1060 6gb).

 

I opened CPUID HWMonitor and find the idle temp for my cpu to be 45c and when gaming it reached even 87c averaging at 80c.

 

Aditionally, CPU usage rarely goes above 80% when gaming, averaging at 70%.

 

Voltage when gaming: 1.271 V

 

USING STOCK COOLING + already replaced thermal paste and cleaned my whole system free of dust.

 

I don't really know if these are normal temperatures and what to do now.

 

 

Thanks for your HELP!

On the official intel site, the temperature for that specific cpu should not exceed 72 C for normal usage... What cooler are you using?

 

Edit: Woops, stock cooling... Maybe you should invest in a better cooler?

for a stock cooler its a bit high but capable if i was you i would buy an aftermarket cooler as that will lower the temps significantly and should improve game-play

Intel CPUs have no problem running up to 80-90C.

Tjmax is at 105C.

Ideally the CPU wont go past 80-85C but if it gets too hot like 90-100C it will throttle itself.

 

There is no danger to OP's CPU, it tis fine at those temps, just not ideal.

Best idea is to replace the stock cooler with something better in the near future.

Thanks for the replies! 

 

I now know I must upgrade my cooling system in the future but there is no present danger.

Any cheap suggestions that will fit my cpu?

Pick up a cheap h212. They were very good for sandybridge.

An old but reliable cooler would be the Hyper 212 EVO from Cooler Master. You can find these on Amazon for ~30 bucks

Excellent! I'll get one of those ASAP. 

 

Thanks for the help!
