hi guys since so many people may have fps problems in CS 2 the only real working method is using high performance in windows power plan my question is what is your max CPU Temp during playing CS2 or other games ?

for example for me i7 3370k in power saving ITS 54-55°C but in high performance reaches 70°C i am afraid from this temp in past never passed 64 °C during gaming i know in internet says any thing under 80°C is ok but no one tells for how many hour . i mean one maybe playing games for 2 hour and one +12 hour what is you experience ? you play games with what temperature (high performance) and how many hour ?

Well even if you have these temps around 70 at pc i think its good enough temp . IF it reaches above 80 then i think it might be bad . in my case i have a laptop and my temp stays at around 92-94 degrees but in laptops its fine as they are designed to handles high temps in laptops.

saving profile reduces power so your cpu has less performance but because less power = less temperature its how physics works.

highest performance means you dont limit power so cpu works normal and therefore temperature is higher vs saving mode.


you can play 24 hours every day no rest on the 80C and nothing would happen .

it only happens when you play 24 hours every day for like few years no stop then the cpu can slow down.

but you cant physically do this and even if you do after 10 years you would change to new pc anyway so its no point of thinking about it.

actually this cpu has 68C for normal use (not gaming) so your is not even high.


as long as you not higher than 80 you can chill.

if this is a pc then you can also always just up the speed of fans or install water cooling.

only after 80C you might need to consider uping cooling anything below just ignore.

70°C is a normal temp for cpus. You don't have to worry at all.

If you want to have it cooler you can also reapply the thermal paste, clean your pc or use a better cpu cooler. But it isn't necessary at just 70°C.

[NiNas in Pyjamas]

The temperatures you're describing are perfectly fine. Prolonged use at high temperatures will likely only consume your CPU's thermal paste at a faster rate, but that can (and should) be replaced regularly anyway.
I would say you've got nothing to worry about!

every day for like few years no slow down.

thank you so much for this great answer i remember last time my GPU broke during playing for honor in that time i was not familiar with Msi Afterborn and temp monitoring because of that i have no idea what temp may damage Cpu or Gpu but now i am monitoring

one thing that is strange and i don't understand , when i am using high performance profile in bios ( not windows power plan ) + CPU turbo mode on still its not effects that much on fps its just increase CPU and heat from 55 °C to 75 °C and SO much more fan noise !
its not even increase 5 fps the only working method was high performance in windows power plan

I havnt had any fps issues at those temps

no idea in bios it maybe is something different power plan like including overclocking the bios has automatic commands from people who made laptop .

If you dont like it getting that high, you can adjust your fan speed for temperature.
