CPU at 80 Celsius for Few Hours?

[Shizofrend]

Sometimes my cpu will get to 80 degress (gpu is mostly 60). Is it relatively safe to run game for hours whilst cpu stays at 80 C?

CPU: i5 3570K
GPU: GTX 1070

Frames are mostly 60 whilst in towns it often dips to 45 but apart from high heat it doesn't seem to affect game and the fans still make relatively quiet sounds.

Thanks.

This is definitely unhealty temperature for your cpu. You should either do something about cooling or reduce the voltage if you are overclocking.

It's fine at them temps. Might clean the heatsink to see if it'll lower some, but def. not unsafe.

[Shizofrend]

Not overclocking it. Yeah i should vacumm the dust of of them too. One of fans has been acting weird lately I just remembered so I'll have to check that if it's dying. But, as long as it doesn't go near 90it should be relativly fine, right?

No it's not. Hardware is made to operate under such conditions. You are still miles away from thermal throttling, let alone damaging your CPU. No need to worry.

Ok, good to know, thanks for info, rly appreciate it!

Aye

Anything around 85-90 is bad, anything below is just fine.

Also not true. There's a build in safety system that will shutdown the computer immediately when reaching critical levels. Even after that, you still have plenty of room left to address the problem.

Really, hardware is designed to operate under these conditions.

From 35 years of personal experience I can tell, you have to push it REALLY hard to break something. And believe me, I've done some crazy sh!t.

You should always keep chips cool, but chips are rugged! Years ago I was hired to maintain a large number of PCs for a university. Nobody had the job before me, so there had been no maintenance at all. I found PCs running with dead fans and dust completely blocking heat sinks (both in several machines) with motherboards so dusty every component was a uniform fuzzy gray yet they were still working.

Seen the same thing :) Even up to a point where PC's would thermal shutdown each xx minutes for months on end. Hardware is pretty tough.

Sorry but once you're reaching 85-90 it's bad regardless if you hit the system shutdown through bios reacting to senors. You should never want your system to hit those levels to begin with regardless if your system shuts down "safely". Especially if there's a possibility of mobo damage from condensation/leaking pumps.

Yes, the hardware is designed to run under high temperatures, but why would you want to kill your cpu's lifespan by several years by letting the temps go so high without any benefit?

Mine oscilates between 78 and 86 up and down depending what's happening in game. Is playin like that for 2-4 hours once or twice every 36 hours for few weeks going to do some bad stuff to the cpu?

Running anything at higher temps lowers the lifespan of the cpu so you could be seeing the cpu die a few years sooner than it would have. Cpu's are pretty rugged these days so your cpu could last 10-15 years will now last 2 years less for example, but there's really no telling since there's no telling how good of a chip you have. I wouldn't worry about it too much, but if you're running on stock fan's you're better off getting an aftermarket solution to lower those temps.

Really useful to lower temps on intel cpu's since high temps screw with your cpu boost capabilities.

Here is a decent guide if you want to actually understand about CPU and Core temps specifically for the Intel family. If you scroll down to Part 4 section 14 there is a good bunch of tips on improving temperatures.

The over-simplified answer to your question is core temps below 80°C are ideal and core temperatures above 85°C are not recommended.

Thanks! I'll give it a read. So...temps betwenn 80 and 85 are...? it's mostly between 77 and 86 but usually it's like 81-84 so this should be fine if it dips to 78 at times and only sometimes rarely goes to 86, right?
