cpu temp over 40c

NTM2003 · Oct 3, 2020

cpu temp got over 40c while playing for a hour or so and my cooler got loud i had to turn off my pc now its back to 33c is this normal or a sign my cpu or cooler is going bad? this has never happened before.

40c is no temp at all a lot of rigs run higher than that on idle. dont worry about it infact you should be happy with it bro.

NTM2003 · Oct 3, 2020

kinda scared me there for a min i didnt know what was happening, i dont know much about this stuff so thats why i ask lol. my cooler is kinda way out of date maybe might upgrade that later on down the road.

40C is about body temperature, even 60C is fine.

Don't listen to these guys, it's going to explode.

Sarcasm, maybe ... I don't know, better be safe than sorry.

Just curious, what is your average temp reading under normal circumstance? Has it ever been above 40C before? Regardless, as @xtreemchaos & @Anwar.Shiekh said, those temp is still good. CPU could handle temps more than twice that hot for longer periods of time. Even my desktop CPU average reading under heavy load runs normally between 70C to 80C & it is still kicking even after a decade.

Actually, body temp is normally between 32C to 36C. Anything 40C or above just indicates that person has a fever.

40c gaming on cpu is fine, i have a custom loop and mine reaches 50c

40 °C (104 °F) – Fainting, dehydration, weakness, vomiting, headache, breathlessness and dizziness may occur as well as profuse sweating. Starts to be life-threatening.

Sone people can‘t even get Idle temps that low....

I believe those happen after the 44C mark but whats a 4C difference to a CPU.
Oh hey, as I'm tying this, my CPU is at 77C average.

NTM2003 · Oct 3, 2020

it normal run between 32 and 45c

It wo be perfectly normal idle temps depending on ambient temps. Load temps are 50-65+ range on average but load temps can vary greatly depending on so many factors. High end Intel will run to 100C before throttle/protections kick in AMD will at 95C

Then you're fine. Just keep the fans clean with dust blower. Again, CPU could withstand very high temp but if it does go above 50C then it's a sign of issue somewhere.

Honestly, I don't want it to go that low. It keeps me somewhat warm during most cold nights without resorting to heaters or thicker clothing.

TheoneandonlyMrK · Oct 3, 2020

Mine is pegged at 80°C crunching.

jayseearr · Oct 3, 2020

holy hell! Somebody call the fire department

8BitZ80 · Oct 3, 2020

Congrats, it's a total loss. Now you'll be out of pocket for a new replacement computer to the tune of $1800.

Those are actually damn good temperatures

It could of been air bubbles in the pump that made it sound loud, and the temperature change if no coolant was circulating.

Oh my PC is all that heats my PC room in winter that still doesn’t mean I don’t like seeing sub 30C idles

sneekypeet · Oct 4, 2020

I'm guessing 40c might be the coolant temp in that 7600k with a 120mm aio, even if a fat one. I doubt that is CPU temp.

If looking in ICUE, make sure it's not coolant. Id be interested to see a screen shot.
