Temps problem (Again)
Temps....NEED HELP! (again) NEW:
If anyone who reads this would please take the time to read the whole thing I would really appreciate it.
Hi everyone again. Okay, so I was just doing some mega 3 hour plus video (editing), while also converting 5 video files that were about an hour long in the background that I made. Each video about 1.5 GB and 720p.
For the first time in my life of this build, (3 months) I actually saw the processor jump to 100% Highest I ever got it before was 40%
My PC temperature quickly went from 100 F (37c) to 140f!!!! (60c) according to Core Temp and Speccy.
Good news is it never went past the 140 F (60c) mark, it then kinda hovered around 138 F (58c) but man I got scared. Reason is according to what I have seen on the net, 140 F (60c) is the limit for the AMD fx8350 cpu and that its dangerous and unstable at that point.
(Although AMD does not mention anywhere on their site what the limit is. I saw a forum post of someone posting a responce when he sent AMD an email and this is what they said. Yet the spec sheet does not define this.)
I know I am panicking. Reason is this build was expensive ($1,000 in total) and I am very scared that damage could have happened. Even though no sign at all of anything happened.
In fact, it was stable the whole time and not a ounce of stutter or freezing.
Anyways, it was at this temp for 3-8 minutes. Then the temp went down to 120 F (48c) and then went even lower back to 92 F (33c). (The conversions finished.)
My room temp (This is a Guess, its an attic turned into a room) is probably 70 F (21c) --- 85 F (29c)?
I have a box fan on blowing towards me and the tower.
The tower has an intake on the side and that is what the fan is blowing towards. The specs are in my system specs there. Case and everything.
Now, when it was at this temperature, I felt the back of my PC and top fan vents. They felt mildly warm, but not hot. This is what makes me think I am overeating.
Ultimate question:
But this is what gets me confused, if my computer was running that Hot, or hotter then it was supposed to, wouldn't it restart? Also why did the back only feel midly warm? I would think if it was really running this hot, it would have felt hot? So are maybe the programs are reporting the wrong temps? I am so confused.
I had a very stressful day and I just am freaking out here....
Thanks in advance...
