It is high, read Intel Xeon e3-1230v3 too hot? [Solved] - Intel - CPUs
Check whether the heatsink is seated firmly and that the fan is spinning. Did you build this PC yourself? What was the temps before?Ideal temps:
30-40C idle 0-10% load.
40-45C browsing/ streaming 10-30% load
45-55C medium gaming/ video converting 30-60% load
55-65C heavy gaming/ vfx/ video rendering 60-80% load
65-72C super heavy usage 80-100%
Those are with a stock or very weak cooler, reduce 5C for a powerful CPU cooler. 10C for liquid cooling.
I dont know what the temps were before I just detached and reinstalled the heatsink however I dont have any thermal paste at the moment. Could the fact that there is no new thermal paste applyed to the heatsink cause issues. I checked the temps after trying to play a game and realizing it was going sluggish. I am going to try and play the same game and see what happens I just assumed it was the cpu temps that caused the lag in the game? When it gets hot can that cause changes in the smoothness of gameplay ?
Yes of course, high temperatures (every CPU model's high is different) will throttle the CPU in order to eliminate damage. Lack of a thermal paste will affect temps but shouldn't be as high as your case. Definitely try re-seating the heatsink.
Do download HWInfo and start with sensors-only. It will show you if any throttling occurs.
o and yes I did build it myself
whats is throttling ? What do you mean by that
Do Not run your computer until you get some thermal compound applied properly and the cooler install properly. You will make a toaster out of your cpu and motherboard.
I booted up my pc this morning and here are my temps on idle with nothing open besides chrome. I am going to play around with it for a full day today and give you guys the results at the end of the day. I restocked or should I say reinstalled my heat sink yesterday. I noticed that when playing dota 2 my cpu would stay between 97-100 degrees and never went over 100. However I am sure that's unsafe going to start the day doing basic things like browsing, then move into some cg artwork then maybe a game or two to see what happens. Thanks for all the advice I have gotten so far it has really helped.
