Safe temperature for CPU?

[Eros]

While gaming, my i5-3330 reaches a max temperature of 75 c

I was wondering if 75 c is a safe temperature?

And if not, then I was thinking about buying this cooler - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099

TCASE 67.4°C

(TCASE = Case Temperature is the maximum temperature allowed at the processor Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS).

So yes, 75 C is way hot, and the computer should be shutting down to protect hardware, but still, that needs to be addressed.

Look in your bios, mine allows me to tweak cpu fan speeds at certain temperatures. Not that I had a Temp problem but I made my fans spin faster at a specific temperature and/or lowered its trigger point.

Instead of 20% at 55c I made it 25% at 50c...Example (can't remember precise numbers)

I do remember my Bios Default for my Cpu, i7-4790k,had 100% fan speed set to trigger if temp hit 80c, again I lowered.

If you can't set fan speeds in the Bios there may by a program that will let you adjust it. I know MSI command center does if you have a compaitible motherboard, maybe others do to

Wow the people in this thread do not know what they are talking about... Intel i5 do not overheat tell about 95c... 75c is a little high but you are still in the safe temperatures. It will not hurt for you to upgrade your cooler. But you are not overheating so you are not causing any damage

For i5 3330

Tcase = 67.4C
Tj = Tcase + 5C = 72.4C
Tj max = 105C .

So , 65-70C is pretty fine . 75C is still fine

Yes , if You wish , get a better cooler .
