Solved Safe CPU Temperatures? running from 9C-24C is it too cold?

Warlockz · Feb 9, 2012

The Little Fan at the bottom of my Case is powerfull, its a new generic one that was still in the box that I found in a bag full of older computer stuff that was sitting by the trash, I can hear a little humming noise like a mini vacum kinda, I can hear the air sucking through the front of the case, and its kinda annoying lol

The new version of Speccy still does not read my core temp, Ill post some pics when my roomate gets home, she has the camera with her atm, either that or however long it takes these batteries to charge for this older camera I have......

The temps in coretemp are perfect,i dont think that you need extra cooling for overclocking.

I read a review where they used the Factory Heatsink during Overclocking and they said it started getting pretty toasty so I dont think I would trust it..

Of course,better Heatsink better\lower temperatures.

I just wanted to thank you for the link in your post. That's a great little app. Probably the best one I've seen yet, and it's free.

For some reason specky does not pick up my processor temps because i think they need to update it!

Ok you having any AMD chip now days expect it to be cooler then it used to be

you have feature like cool and quiet to dumb down heat and stress when not in use

Also i can tell you my other rig in the upstairs bedroom doesn't even register a temp it is so cold plus the fan and heat sink are after market nothing to worry about honestly

Now heat for example will max it out cause BSOD'S and shutdowns like no other and that being the lower 4100 fx chips which they have a few others but not purchasable yet will use less wattage and juice making it very cool fast even with out a aftermarket cooler

Did I miss something? I didn't see anything with a 100% load for temps. That 11,12 % load doesn't really tell much. Yes please do something with that wiring.
No air cooled computer drawing in ambient (room temp) will ever be cooler that ambient (room temp). A least not on the planet Earth.

download and install Core Temp and see what readings you get. I have always found it to be as accurate as any temp program. If you look at HW Monitor, your +12V shows 8.06V. I know that is not accurate. If it was your computer wouldn't boot.

My ASUS MotherBoard has System Level Energy Saving aka EPU built into it! Check out the Youtube Vid to see it in action. then check out the other link to read more about it!

Still, not possible. At idle my CPU Vcore goes to 0.995V and I would venture to say I have a more efficient CPU cooler. I would be happy with double the 9C you are showing.

Yes all im using at the moment is firefox, Windows Media Player 12 Portable apps ect so it is basicly idle but that was the Original Topic.

Warlockz for example these are my temps on air,my pc is never shutdown everything on stock,nothing overclocked and i have good ventilation,no wires around with good temperatures.

Though 9C,for me it looks like a dream

I threw a heavy load at it with Hot CPU Tester and every core ran at 100% 3.7GHZ, it got up to 40-43C but kept the temperature never went above 43C. so I definatly want to get the upgraded CPU Cooler before i even attempt to OverClock!

mjf · Feb 9, 2012

In my earlier post I suggested how a Tcase reading (An Estimate) could be less than ambient. The estimate is crude and can obviously be wrong when Tcase is less than ambient. Tcore readings are a different matter when they read lower than ambient.

Do a proper test and download Real Temp then run their rigorous stress test and post those readings.

Warlockz · Feb 9, 2012

Your test is outdated and does not yet support my Newer Processor? I know my temps are right because they were higher before I put this fan in the front of my case, they stayed around 30-40C before the fan so basically my question is solved. but I did try the test you suggested and it does not support my processor.

linnemeyerhere · Feb 9, 2012

Those are very good numbers, you should be pleased !

mjf · Feb 9, 2012

Fair enough. Maybe it's because it's a relative new relatively low cost AMD.
My system (see specs) is hardly outdated & it works fine but the CPU is Intel.
Some comparison specs for interest

What you measure is what you get. What it means is another thing.

panais · Feb 10, 2012

These are my system temps,the case is open,custom built by me,i added 3 powerful fans.

These temps are on air,i can get better temps only with full speed cooling power but just 2,3 points lower for each hardware and these are really good temps.

You have 9C? This is super cooling.

Yea those i7 are expensive, yours is 200 more than what I payed, It better be faster than mine lol.... I actually got it as a replacement for my Phenom x4, and It is much faster then my old Processor, I ended up with a 500W cooler Master PSU, the asus motherboard, 8GB of kingston ram, and the Processor for 200 bucks, Im not a gamer, and i dont render graffix/videos everyday, so it is actually perfect for what I need it for. you really cant go wrong, $200 for basically a new computer.

Layback Bear · Feb 12, 2012

Good job. You got what you wanted to cover your needs for under $200.00. Happy computing.

safe operating temps

Condensation aside, as far as cold temps are concerned, the only other way you would damage your CPU/GPU/PSU etc. is to introduce vast differences in temperature drastically. For instance, Getting a GPU up to a normal temp under load while playing games (lets say 70c) and then adding liquid refrigerant to a heat sink would most definitely cause cracking of the connections. Think of what would happen to glass if you got it red hot and then placed it into a bath of ice water! CRACK!!!

As heat always flow from a high temperature object (heat sink) to a lower (air) it's physically impossible to have CPU temperatures lower than air temperature. It should be ~10ºC above room temp at low load.
Don't trust on those programs. The one you can is the BIOS readings, IF the CPU sensor is working properly.
Only worry if temperatures goes higher than 80ºC.

Overclock increases the voltages, increasing generated heat and lowering CPU life. I wouldn't go above 10% (4GHz)

I use this hardware monitor: Open Hardware Monitor - Core temp, fan speed and voltages in a free software gadget It records actual, Max and min temp.

jerramie · Dec 4, 2016

safe operating temps

agreed, while running on air, reaching a temp below room temp is not possible. Although 80 is pretty high, its not a hardware damaging temp however it will lesson the longevity of the device. If you OC and by OC I mean by way of increase of voltage to obtain a higher and stable clock, you will generate more heat than the default heat sink is designed to dissipate and shorten the card/cpu's life. I have had many OC cards only last 15 months. I fixed them with the oven but this only temp fixes them. They always burn out again. The NVidia 6800 GTX cards I had from my first real build still work! I never OC them and I used them for at least 8 hours a day for 2 years. They still work!
