| Post subject: | CPU/GPU Temperature Question |
I've recently built a new rig, including an AMD Phenom x4 955 and an Nvidia GTS 450. Both of these components run at around 35-40 degrees Celsius under normal load: watching videos, browsing the internet, etc. Now, I was wondering: what is the norm for CPU and GPU temperatures? And do components fall into that category? Thanks. |

Depends on the component. Check around the googles for your particular parts' tolerances. For instance, my i3 quad core has a critical junction temp of 105 'C, but that's the absolute most it can take before it starts melting down, so I would consider anything above a 40-50' normal running temp to be on the high side. Up to 80 or 90 under heavy load would be somewhat acceptable however. |

My celeron 430 running at 2.4GHz heats up to 56 celsius. But your stuff is just freaking unbeliavably cold. |

Well yeah, I used to have a really buggy PC which would instafreeze whenever it went above 50°C, so I'm kind of used to going overboard on cooling measures. I'm currently running... let's see... Starcraft 2 with max graphics and it's at a flat 30 degrees. Kinda hot, I guess. |

Hmm. From what I've read so far, the "norm" for CPU temperatures is pretty variable from computer to computer. I suppose it also depends on what you're running on your computer as well. |

I have the same processor. I get around 30-40 as well. The highest I ever got was 64 'C while playing at around two seconds per frame in CC. Starcraft 2 on ultra, Black Ops, Dwarf Fortress, all of it runs at <62 'C. I read that you really shouldn't go above 62 with this processor, but I could be wrong. |

Doing a quick google, going over 60'C for that processor is not recommended. |

After running Half-Life 2, the CPU seems to have trouble moving away from 40 celcius. It's been hovering at that temperature for over 10 minutes. |

It depends on CPU / GPU, but you have no need to get worried over 40 Celsius. I personally turn off any game I'm running if my GPU goes over 80 degrees C but that never happens. 30-40 is a good idling temperature, 50-60 normal game load, 70-80 very heavy load. This of course depends on your cooler, I only have stock coolers and two case fans so yeah. tl;dr don't let it go over 80 |

Lol, my old 9800 GT got to 98 C often. I used SpeedFan to make the noise go away. |
