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 tranfers through radiation in empty space, outer space near the earth is at 7 celcius, so your gpu would be well cooled, heat is also released through other mechanisms in space but im no scientist

[@c4_yrslf726]

Juan P. Reynoso Well it may be 7c but... the solar rays on one side heat up to 180c and on the otherside getting no heat would go down to -150c but you are right by saying that there are other cooling mechanism and by having no environment to transfer heat, more % will exit into infrared rays

[@SaHaRaSquad]

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.

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.

[@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.

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.

[@brendanschwartz2198]

Linus still killing it 6 years ago

[@sassuki]

You forgot to talk about motherboard temperature! Most important thing! It has to stay (ideally) below 38°C, if you want your CPU and GPU coolers to work efficiently. This involves a power supply sucking air out of the chassis, assisted by a rear fan, ideally 92mm or bigger. If you do not have a front fan, the chassis must have a side vent. If your power supply is isolated, you need a top fan also. Fire up Aida64 stability test and make sure you adjust the fan speeds so that your mobo temp stays under 38.

[@NikolajLepka]

so my CPU running at 50 °C under load is perfectly safe...?

[@StayCool9948]

Yes.

[@NikolajLepka]

oh good I was worried I was frying it...

[@LimitzVFX]

Oh god, I'm not sure if you're serious or not.

[@TNTLotLP]

lol really? Mine runs at around 100 degrees load. But then again I am running it at 5ghz :P

[@Renegade0056]

I don't allow my FX8320 to get above 70°C and my HD7970 has never gone above 70°C. Although, GTA 5 does stress out the CPU pegging all 8 cores at 100% sometimes. Jeeze that game is a resource hog...RAM hits 8 GB of 16 available.

[@Okayokayshane]

If only you'd bough intel/nvidia.. you wouldnt have high temps nor a cpu bottleneck :(

[@Renegade0056]

shane buchanan Temps are fine right now, repasted with Arctic Silver 5 and added a NZXT X61 AIO. Runs at 17C while watching KZbin, 12C when at idle, and hit 40C on GTA 5 with high settings. The temps did give me problems while playing but that's fixed by the AIO.

[@Okayokayshane]

***** oh thanks good then, what are the ambient temps? my hd7770 runs idle like 25 degrees air cooled all the way up to around 20 ambient

[@Renegade0056]

shane buchanan Right now where I live, ambient outside temp is 29C with 67% humidity. My HD7970 runs at 40C and peaked at 72C according to Open Hardware Monitor and CAM. My next upgrade is going to be a R9 Fury X. Goal is to keep inside temps as low as possible. The Fury X is water cooled and sealed so heat won't leak out to other components.

[@Diavolo222]

***** they dont bottleneck but they arent better than the i5s either.

i overcloked my FX 8320 5ghz on air 1.51vcore and after 1 month my gigabyte ud3 didin't want to boot other than stock clock's. now there is leaky cap in motherboard's power phase's :) i wonder how high the temperatures god around the cpu in the caps :D

[@RoyRaptor1]

why would you ever overclock that much without monitoring temps? O.0 Also, air cooling isn't enough for 5 Ghz

[@CarvedxD]

What the hell had to be going through your head to over clock 3.5ghz stock to 5ghz. You poor soul, completely didn't melt my GTX 760 to the pci-e doing the same thing XD

[@TheFacedGAM]

I could only imagine how loud that must've gotten. Overclocking without temperature monitoring is a crazy idea, I wouldn't have the balls to do that to my beloved computer.

[@NuffMan_]

cpu got 90c only when there was like +25 in my room and running interburn test, in rendering 70c and gaming never over 60c. The FX8320 draws too much current in those specs for my 8+2 phase motherboard, i will upgrade cooling and leaky capasitors when i go to water, and i will aim for even more than 5ghz. i have experience for overcloking like 10 amd cpu's and i had under this same mobo and cooler phenom 2 955 4.5ghz 1.6vcore and it is still running in my second pc. phenom has now been in those clocks for 4 years and still going strong. Here is video about the leaky cap in motherboard, shame that i cant go over 4ghz because voltages are too unstable and im too lazy to remove mobo and change the cap :P Gigabyten virransyöttö "Sulaa"

[@skrm818]

[@nckats]

Love how I got recommended this video after I searched it up 8 months ago

[@brosch91]

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.

The resistance only increases to a point(about 160 degrees celsius), then decreases. This allows more current through and can cause thermal runaway.

But even if you overclocked you would have less performance because the motherboard slows down the processor when it's too hot

Mine was about the same temp before i fix it. My cooling paste was super dry and cpu cooler was not so clean. I could even rise my settings a bit on games after fixed the heat problem. Temp before: 99 when i was playing games and around 60-70 when i do nothing Temp after: 60-70 when im playing and around 40 when i do nothing.

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.
