Sorry Linus I don’t think you were specific enough! People need actual numbers or else the debate will continue to ad nauseum!
Mate, as both me and Linus mentioned (at 0:48), at higher temps – this is 105°C for most modern CPUs – the in-built temperature protection kicks in throttling the speed and dropping both the temperatures and the performance.
So it’s impossible to reach unsafe temperatures and nobody should ever worry?
Except about lowered performance with substandard cooling?
That’s right. If you aren’t into super-duper high voltage overclocking, there’s no way you’re going to damage your CPU due to heat. Even in that case, heat is primarily avoided as the main obstacle to reaching higher clocks.
For instance, I myself have ran my Core 2 Duo moderately overclocked at 95+C in GAMES probably for at least a year before discovering this (box cooler’s thermal paste turned to cement) and it’s still as good as new. Modern 32nm and smaller process CPUs are even more resilient.
You might say: “well, I would still feel more comfortable sticking to a lower temp threshold just in case”, but then remember that for the manufacturer who sets the Tjunction, it’s not just a matter of “comfortable”, it’s a matter of RMAing hundreds of thousands of broken CPUs if they don’t get their temperature margins right. That’s why I personally trust them with it.
Thank you sir. You enlightened me more than the video.
1/4 of vid sponsor sh**
you’ve gone way below the bullsh** acceptable line

Lol Yea I can’t remember either. . .I even reread the thread. . . Still got nothing.
* Shrugs * See you around YouTube mate.
whoever watches these techquickies deserves no better 🙂 pahahaha
shark103 linustechtips employs over 10 employees. They wouldn’t be able to pay them or make these great videos without ads
I am falling asleep at my desk so I blame any mistakes I made in that last reply on that.
My pc is running at 90 c, should I shave it?
just give it a medium cut no shave
It’s fine, that’s what my Quad Pentium 4 Machine runs at
SupaMario81 my phone (nexus 6p) has reached 92°C. now imagine holding a phone with that kind of heating issues
depends on the chip. my 3770k hits 90’s under load when it’s overclocked to 4.8.
Thank you for using °C, °C is the best
+ButterSquids Yottometers to femtometers.
Ok?
Daniel Dankers kelvins are best because everybody knows them
Daniel Dankers He’s Canadian. What did you expect?
Canada is great high income high prices! Look at America high income low prices fucking fat cats ?
I cool my AMD cards by placing them in interstellar space, no condensation and no heat issues.
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
+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
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.
Indeed but as an example if you put the hardware in an empty space room at 5 celcius what would happen?
My laptop while gaming sounds like flood in the river.
my latop sounds the same, still heats up to over 100°cpu and gpu temp and is probably broken since 2 years since my gtx 555m and i7 get outperformed by my girlfriends same generation laptops i3 integrated graphics
+MrXonte haha what a wonderful tech ?
Can my PC get to 300 km/h at 90 c?
GTA ONLINE ????
Janne Laakso Ofc I’m trolling
I have a shitty LGA1156 intel motherboard that constantly runs at 98*c. is this normal? Idk lol
its not normal at all
B3na5 well GG me then, theres not much I can do about it atm
DS GD MidNit3 how about you replace it before ruining everything else
no, Its fine. It turns out it’s the software that was fucking up, not entirely surprised seen as the motherboard was apparently nearly twice as hot as the CPU.
my pc is 60c on a corsair h100i so how do i install a new distributor on a 2009 toyota corolla le without risking damaging my kitchen’s tile because my mom wont be happy when my dog bites her and runs away
she got a big booty so i call her big booty
+kamikaze thats creative af
my memes are ironic and my depression is chronic
Kamikaze mind if i copypasta that last bit?
u do u boo boo
is 75° on a gtx 770 not safe?
i usually run my gtx 770 between 75 and 82°C under load (depending on season), and it lived for 3 years, so should be fine.
so 81*C max for a 6700k overclocked isn’t too much?
MrDeeb8 try to dial back your voltage slightly, it’s not terrible but you’re risking throttling if your temps spike, if you get throttled your overclock becomes basically pointless. Al about the sweet spot
My i5-6600K at stock frequency usually idles around 20 C and at full load it won’t go above 40 C.
What kind of cooler do you have? 20° is extremely cool.
+NicoandLuis A CoolerMaster Hyper 103. Yeah Idle temps are usually 20-25 C. At full load it is around 35-40 C. I was surprised too, I have no reason whatsoever to get a Liquid Cooler.
Gtx 980 temp and i5 6660k 3.5 temp?
xGamer 21 look it up yourself
Janos Krahl Yeah based on his reply, I think he’s capable of doing much on his own….
my cpu runs at full load at about 31degrees and its a amd one
Quinten Conrad its too low
It can get up to 50° if its on for a while
i once tried putting my video card’s fans to 0 speed
R.I.P
Took years of mockery, but we finally have an American using Celsius

My laptop turns off automatically when the CPU crosses 90°C. This is a problem for me when playing games. Can I raise the limit to 95 or 100?
Processor is intel i3 3110M.
is it safe for my cpu to be several degrees below freezing at 20% fan power?
