CPU reaching temps of 77 Degrees Celcius!?

[Famix]

Is this normal? Can this damage my system?

I'm about to just hand this thing to best buy and tell them the motherboard and CPU are overheating, and I suspect the case fans, but my CPU fan might also be a problem.

Are you using a stock cooler? I'd suggest just going with it for now and just ordering a heatsink when you're ready, operating at those temps certainly isn't going to do much to your CPU.

What is your CPU?

There should be a datasheet you can google to tell you the safe temperature ranges. I know there was an Athlon specced to run at up to 89.

AMD FX 4300

I'd be better off getting a new CPU in the long run. This one may be damaged from trying to run games it can't run

[Michael M]

That's one of the lower temperature specced AMDs. I'd worry.

Jesus! You really should've mentioned that earlier.

Shut it off right now and send it for warranty. 77 Celsius is well beyond your CPU's safe limit, don't run it any longer than you have to.

You know I'm surprised it's even running at that temperature. I thought FX started to throttle from 60 Celsius onwards.

AMD FX are unique, they have a very low tolerance for temperature. 60 Celsius is about as high as you can safely push them.

Well, crap! D:

I don't have a warranty, I bought this as a pre-built where you choose the parts.

How long ago was that? You may have a limited maufacturer warranty, or warranty for the individual parts.

Weak CPU Cooler made my overclock CPU temp heat up over 90 degree then crash… resetting bios to clear Asus overclocking tweak fix the problem but my cpu still hit 75 to 83 degree when playing CPU intensive games. IS MY CPU SAFE?

Get yourself a better cooler. You CPU is designed to throttle/shutdown when it over heats.

You don't need an expensive cooler. Thermal Right has plenty of air coolers that will fit your budget. $20-40 depending on the model.

If you want a cheaper AIO, ID Cooling has 240mm AIOs for $50-60.

I just wanna update that I replaced the motherboard and all internals. Currently running a AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core Processor with the stock cooler, and it works pretty well. From what I've come to understand, the FX series was not a good series of CPUs. Also, some dust ended up in some weird areas of the FX 4300, and cleaning it did help temperatures immensely. If you have this problem, check if there's dust underneath your CPU fan on the heatsync. If there isn't, don't be afraid to contact a specialist . . . if you can afford one.

I'm very sorry, but that's not good at all. I'd undo all overclocking. I personally never engage with overclocking because I love my PC, and I don't want to hurt her so I can play games with higher graphics. Also check for dust.

Anything below 100 C at full load is fine.

Overclocking is safe.

80C on "heavy" games is not ideal but is fairly safe and can be easily maintained for a few hours at a time with no long-term harm.

A good cooling setup makes wonders in temperature management; my water-cooled overclocked 12900K very rarely passes 65C at full load.

"Higher graphics" come from GPU, not CPU.

[Famix]

Overclocking voids the warranty, and that's a thing I value. Always prefer to save whenever my stuff is getting mid-range

I'm a simplesimple man. Computer run okay, then computer good. :gorrister. If I'm below the requirements for a game, then I need to save to get a new part. Me like buying new things.:gorrister

77C is toasty but nothing to be super concerned about if it's in a full load. I'd start to worry if it started to reach the mid 80's, though.
