Question about CPU temps
Hi all,
While I am waiting for delivery of my new CPU cooler, I have a question about the temps my i5 2500k are running at. At idle Real Temp tells me that the temps of all 4 cores are running between 31C to 40C, but when I do something like an AV scan the temps will jump up to between 55C and 70C, but thendrop back fairly quickly to idle temps. My question is this, are those temps high enough for me to be concerned about damaging the CPU? I do have a laptop to use while I wait for the new CPU cooler, but I prefer using my PC at home because I have a 23" LCD which is much easier on these "not so young anymore" eyes.
Thanks, LittleJay
