Obviously this varies but a general guideline: 90 - 95 C: Sorta safe, but pushing the limit. 95 C for short periods of time (less than 1.5 hours) is perfectly fine, but if it runs that hot for several hours or longer that’s bad. It won’t instantly melt your CPU or anything but it will probably wear down parts if you let it get that hot regularly. If your CPU gets this hot or hotter, every hour you should let it cool off for 15 minutes. 80 - 90 C: the hottest “decent” operating temperature. While not great, it’s perfectly safe for 95% of CPUs to be 85 C for long periods of time. Obviously lower is still better, but you shouldn’t run into any real issues. Most components can handle a minimum of 90 - 95 C. 70 - 80 C is good. Try to stay in this range if you can. It’s not always realistic for gaming PCs to stay lower than this if it doesn’t have good airflow, but maintaining 70 - 80 C should possible even with a bad cooking setup if you crank the fans up. But if your rig has weaker fans or poor heat dispersion and it gets a bit hotter than this, it’s no big deal. 60 - 70 C: Great. A rig that can keep temps this low is really efficient and this is the ideal operating temperature. While theoretically, under 60 C would be even better, it’s just not always gonna happen with the parts currently available unless you have great airflow.

There are cpus that will throttle if the max temp is reached so a sudden slow down may be a sign of overheating.

In general 50-80 degrees C is ideal for almost all parts.

[@jort93z]

No, the colder the better. Lowers resistance of the components. Ideal temperature for most electronic components is -273°C. Also minimizes wear on components. Components that run colder, live longer. For computer components you get a higher stability. There is a reason why people overclock using sub ambient methods such as dry ice, liquid nitrogen or even liquid helium.

[@yotoprules9361]

But why would I be running my computer at -273 C?

[@yotoprules9361]

jort93z the average person isn't going to be running their pc at -273 though.

[@jort93z]

no, of course not. But the point i am making is that 30-50°C is certainly better than 50-80°C. 50-80°C is a suitable temperature for most parts, but it is not ideal for 99% of them.

Heat transfer through radiation is rather inefficient though, so I doubt it would stay cool in space using standard equipment. Also space has a very high range of temperatures, some of which are definitely not good for hardware.

i used to love overclocking all possible overclockable components to get more out of my buck but recently i've been thinking that perhaps leaving it at stock is actually more economical because your hardware will last longer, just my two cents

[@ieatsoap88]

the first 1-2 years i dont overclock but if my computer gets older im overclocking it

[@ericlarocque3652]

It's a good idea...however, in the case of GPU I do have one thing to say about it. I own a XFX Radeon 7970 3 GB DD video card, and I found out there is a Black Edition of the exact same card which is just an overclocked version with the exact same cooler. So what I did was find the overclock values of the Black Edition, set my video card to them, and then I retuned the fans to keep the card cool enough to last long appropriately. By keeping my CPU and GPU between 30 C and 50 C at all times, I made a RAM channel timer chip on it's last legs last 5 months more than it should have from the majorly reduced heat stress inside the system. (The CPU is the highest contributor to overall case heat, and anything past 50 is where other components start getting grumpy about the heat.)

[@ieatsoap88]

***** alot of cpu's/gpu's from amd have a black edition wich is mostly almost the same with higher clock speed

[@Decalto35]

i dont think they are exactly the same. I think the black editions allow for much higher overclocks than non black editions.

[@ericlarocque3652]

Sometimes they will be different than each other, other times like Calvin said they will be just the same card with different clock speeds. The only reason I really chose to overclock to the settings of the Black Edition is because my card is exactly the same as the Black Edition but with a slower clockspeed out of the box, and after testing in a few games I found the overclock settings of the Black Edition to be much smoother and reliable for me than the stock clock speeds.

Have had a Phenom II 965 for 5-6 years and it still runs new releases (been running FO4 at 60fps on high settings). Keeping your temps below max is a good way to preserve your components, and considering CPUs don't advance much anymore, it can be a good money saving measure.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

On CPUs the buffer is considered safe usually is around 20-30 below Tjmax.

[@bryan0x05]

he told you everything what the company thinks it'll survive and what Linus told you by build in your own buffer he meant try to keep a temp that you feel safe with but do not go over or under what the company says..... As he listed a lot of the maximum but as he said there is no real optimal temp there is only break your shit temp. You trying to answer a no real answer question build your buffer set a lower max and a lower(i mean lower as higher in temp for this) min then suggested by the company and it may just last longer.

[@dunxy]

With decent cooling you're going to hit voltage limits well before temp limits these days, so temp limits are pretty irrelevant. When overclocking i dont bother looking at temps as ive never seen any chip ive ever overclocked (on decent cooling) in 10 yeas+ hit max temp.I do however worry about vcore, i actually measure my vcore with a DMM as software either under (real vcore above what software reports) or over (vcore is less than software reports) reports it.That being said i ran my 2d gen i7 for years @ 1.425 vcore, which is over intels max.Chips fine and runs same as it ever did.Just my 2c.

Commenting on this video 6 years later. I've been running a laptop with an I7 (3517U) for 7 years now. It was supposed to run at 1.9GHz (says the manufacturer, samsung) and at the task manager shows both 1.9 (cpu name) and 2.4GHz(base clock). However, it runs with frequent peaks at 2.91 and it hits 95 degrees C very often. The bottom of the notebook is made of aluminum, which already lost its paint due to heat (you can fry an egg there). Despite that, I've been running without any drawbacks. Now the notebook is dying due to other causes (screen) so it was worth it (to get the extra performance). Recently changed thermal paste and it is still kicking.

Extra fans and coolants also help keep your PC from malfunctioning in warm climates, internal and external temperature both effect PC performance since the external temperature will effect the internal temperatures of a PC and one of the signs of a overheating PC is the PC slowing down or slow response to commands even sticking and crashes and their are free programs that makes it easy to check your temperature with a click.

For my CPU I like to aim for 65 or lower and for my GPU I go for 80 or lower. My usual operating temperature under load for my GPU is about 78 degrees but after adding a side fan to my case (CM storm scout) my GPU dropped to 68 degrees under load, which is chilly by GPU standards. This is good and I'm sure it has contributed to my GTX 770 lasting years since I got it. Yes, you could theoretically run it at much higher temperatures, but in my opinion, I think you greatly put the card's lifespan at risk by doing so.

[@AJFreeway]

General consensus from what I've seen, people seem to think anything over 60 degrees C is extreme. It's good to know there's a bit more tolerance with temps than that.

[@drewb671]

At 0:25, I think there may be an error with the note that says semiconductor resistance decreases with increasing temperature. Generally, semiconductor resistance is known to increase with temperature, and most MOSFET datasheets will support that. However, there may be advanced rules to consider for modern FinFET design that I am not accounting for. Generally you can look at carrier mobility as an indicator of resistance, and that curve usually has a maximum at some moderate temperature, and falls off for both extreme high and low temperatures due to the effects of lattice scattering or impurity scattering. Lastly, one thing you did not explicitly state is that lifetime is hugely impacted by temperature. You did mention this indirectly, but perhaps a useful metric would help make your point better. In the power electronics world, the general rule of thumb is that every 10 C rise in temperature reduces lifetime by 1/2.

[@broski7088]

No need to worry about temperature nowadays since CPU and GPU auto throttle if they reach dangerous temps, which RARELY ever happens, unless you overclock a lot, run a TON of things at once, or play at very high resolution that GPU doesn't support. Battery temps on laptops and portables, NOW that worries me.

My Gtx 950 gainward edition gtx gets up to 78-82C playing batman arkham knight wtf??

[@Asem98]

That's perfectly fine. Up to 81°C is completely fine in my opinion.

[@muhammadammarrasyid5780]

what about laptop processor?huh?! it overheats after 1 hour evrytem no matter what it runs btw it's i5

[@The_MrPhysics]

My laptop cpu runs csgo at 97 degrees so I think it's not as rare as you would believe..

[@crowcore]

So actually this episode teached the viewer... basically nothing. I thought you would talk abt different airflow strategies for instance, or the impact fan size has on cooling performance. Maybe an idea for a future episode!

[@techquickie]

I've actually don't air vs water cooling in the past. Should have referenced that video... :s

My brand new graphics card got to 109°c before I realized. The fans weren’t spinning at all for some reason. It was still in warranty so i sent it in and got a new one.

My i7 970 used to run at 70c under max load until I turned off HT (I have 6 cores, dont need HT) now my max temps are around 60c. All air cooled. Ran a P4 prescott without the heatsink on once, once it finally booted up it was around 140c and still operating. Still works too.

[@dylanprins9290]

I ironically came here since i am overclocking the GPU of my MacBook pro 2017 in bootcamp and needed to check if i was pushing it too far. Results were quite impressive though.

[@kamikazeisgod]

my pc is 60c on a corsair h100i so how do i install a new distributor on a 2009 toyota corolla le without risking damaging my kitchen's tile because my mom wont be happy when my dog bites her and runs away

Never have I cared about temperatures until I got my first gaming laptop 3 days ago. Thing has a i7 8750 and gtx 1070 and it usually runs around 90 to 97 Celsius. Gots me all concerned and digging through KZbin for answers.

[@DaxCorsiar]

I'm overclocking... I better move my PC to the freezer.

[@ryankhart]

Dax Corsiar Like Linus said though. You don't want your computer to be colder than the surrounding environment because you don't want the water vapor in the air to condensate on it.

[@MariusMinde]

Ryan Hart That is what he said, and if you think about it that is an argument FOR putting the PC in a cold room like a freezer. Since you want the surroundings to be cooler than your PC the surroundings cannot be too cold. However, if you have a normal HDD in your PC you might have trouble with moving parts at temperatures below 0 Celcius.

[@DaxCorsiar]

My comment was a joke.

[@dylant7183]

Dax Corsiar i dont understand why you needed to say you were joking. if any1 thought you were serious about putting a computer in your freezer.. they have bigger issues to worry about xD!

[@BigDaddyWes]

roxiE Because people replied to their comment as if they were serious? lol

[@Eureka_3D_Printing]

My first Graphics card ran 123C when running even low end games hours on end. The fan was always 100% and it still works today. It was an Radeon HD3400 with 256mb of DDR3 Ram.

[@dylanhartz8473]

lol i ran my card at 100% fan speed and opened 3 unigine valley ultra HD benchmarks to ensure that the GPU was pushing as hard as it could and i only got to 65C, gigabyte Windforce 3x is OP

[@Eureka_3D_Printing]

Dyllidan ret The cooler on mine was just a poor aluminum block with a tiny tiny fan.

[@dylanhartz8473]

MrBonami2 I prefer throttling the GPU in a more realistic scenario, but yes furmark would give the same result

[@ZeroneRaven]

Had a Geforce 9600GT since 2009, which came with the PC. It was reaching 100C~120C, and when it hit 130C it was crashing my PC, shutting it down. There was dust in the aluminum plate and the fan. I tried to clean it but it didnt change much. The fan was little too. I'm not a hard gamer myself, so I bought a Sapphire HD7750 1G GDDR5. Now it runs at 33C, and ~45C with a game open.

[@OldAccountUser]

ZeroneRaven my 7950 overclocked will not throttle in a 10 minute run of furmark and stay under 80c

[@albertpaul1094]

My laptop usually runs the cpu at 70-80c and the gpu at 90-91 (Full load). It bothered at me at first but I kinda learned to come to terms with it. I live in a very hot and humid country.

[@BladeMK]

I'm here because my gpu runs at 83c but the rest of my pc at 65c

[@SONOFAZOMBIE2025]

What if you keep your entire case submerged in a tank of liquid nitrogen to get rid of the air = no condensation?

[@Omnilatent]

Might be a bit expensive though ;)

[@v0b0ner]

Omnilatent I've seen a lot of pc's full of mineral oil. Nitrogen is expensive call.

[@SONOFAZOMBIE2025]

Arthas Leks mineral oil probably acts as a conductor, no? nitrogen isn't that expensive, afterall 78% of air _is_ nitrogen. Also, there are already liquid N cpu coolers, but they seem to have the condensation problems mentioned. my thoughts were to put the whole system into a custom tank to eliminate these probs...

[@sjdjjq]

Son of a Zombie Mineral oil conducts no electricity whatsoever.

[@v0b0ner]

Son of a Zombie AS luke mentioned mineral oil conducts no electricity. Every part is submerged in mineral oil.

[@markusTegelane]

My Core i5 9400F CPU can go to about 78 celsius at sustained 100% load and on a forum somewhere, someone said that these are perfectly fine temps for an Intel stock cooler and that thermal throttling only occurs at about 85+ celsius, so I guess I'm good lol edit: I'm not using that CPU anymore

[@BingtheLizard]

My laptop was shutting its self off around the end of last year. Hitting above 90 degrees. Opened up the back, blew in some air, and tried it again. No change. I'm not hardware savvy so by curiosity I took off the covers of the fans and found rectangular grey pieces of felt blocking the vents. Turned out they weren't felt. Dropped the average operating temperature by about 50 degrees. Whew.
