How hot does your CPU get?
This isn't a pissing contest over who has the best cooler, or who can fry the most eggs on their CPU. It's a fun little test to see what kind of temperature ranges there are among different PC's, laptops, etc. Not using this data for research or anything so feel free to say you hit over 9000kelvin for all I care.
Open Hardware Monitor (feel free to use your favourite app) Prime95 v27.9 Run this bizniss and use the torture test, set it to MAXIMUM HEAT!!! Just run it for a couple of minutes, this isn't a stability test thread.

78 degrees on my core duo after about 5 minutes
that seemed about as hot as it was gonna get; i got some after market cooler, but its probably thickly coated in dust atm. (i cleaned it at the start of summer, but my box sucks up dust) |

Said no-one, ever .... congrats man, 1990 called, they want their catchphrase back. |

I'm so far in the loop, I AM the loop. I'm the loopiest son'b**** that ever dun looped.
less f*****ry catch phrases, more CPU frying, losers. |

Pin modded, undervolted T8600 C2D laptop: idle 35-40, 100% load 50-55.

i7 3770k runs at 35 degrees on idle, 40-45 when running a game.

After ten minutes of torture, stock cooler which I haven't bothered to change out. Never heard all of my fans go that fast though, thought it was going to take off. |

so my little i52500 with a all-in-one water cooler, 50.5c max,
I know on my stock cooler it wasn't uncommon to see 70c |

I don't think I have ever seen my i7-2600K go over about 65.
My 570 GPU regularly sits between 75-85 when its heavily used. Everything is stock. |

Once a year i get the back off the comp and clear out the dust.
CPU fan and Video fan always have a lot of dust. If youn arent regulary cleaning your fans then your chips are always going to be running hotter than they should be, shortening their lives. |

Every six months for me, and I vacuum every second day and have filters, still gets in O.o

Interesting the CPU sensor on the motherboard and the temperatures section under the actual CPU, are different in Open Hardware Monitor. CPU section shows it higher under load. I'll take the highest values.
i5-3570k @ 4.6 with a H100 all in one cooler (fan set at medium). Idle = 33, normally below 30 when i have the ac on. Load = 75 atm with no ac running torture on p95. Macbook pro is a 2.3gig i5 and the same as yours, gets really hot if you maxing the CPU. Not uncommon to creep up to 95-98 if encoding or the like. Playing HD rip normally has it to 70-75 and general web surfing ~50-55. |

ive got my i7 930 getting up to about 65-75 daily when i play games and when encoding video or prime 95 will hit ~85.. Ive had it running like this, stable, since i7 930s came out.
idle is about 40-45 |

I got an i7 2600k (3400) overclocked to ~4430 with aftermarker HSF. Super stable and have been running to this way for at least a year now.
Maxed at 100% for just shy of 10 mins. Its hotter than I like - but realistically it never gets near this. http://i.imgur.com/zgOn3uU.png |

Idle in the low 40's, load in the low 60's. Stock cooler, i5 2500K no overclock, mild dust.

Gaming it gets to about 50'c so only ten more above that with all cores at a sustained 100% isn't too bad for stock cooler and a couple of usually very quiet case fans, sitting on a perch under the desk.

Ummmmm
http://i.imgur.com/LlRpz02.jpg And in the time I have posted this it has gone up to 100 degrees C. It's a stock cooler. Do I have a problem? I better check it for dust. |

Interesting the CPU sensor on the motherboard and the temperatures section under the actual CPU, are different in Open Hardware Monitor. This should be true in any monitor. The motherboard has a sensor on the motherboard under the cpu, the cpu has 1 generic sensor and 1 sensor per logical core. Of course the temp will be higher inside the CPU than outside the CPU |

Is the heatsink hot to touch fpot? I'd be removing it, cleaning it and reapplying goop myself.
|
07:10pm 02/03/13 Permalink
Do I have a problem? there's just too many answers to that question ;) seriously though, considering you've got an ATi 7900 sitting right underneath your CPU you might want to invest into some more cooling *edit* Intel 2700K here. never goes over 75 |
07:21pm 02/03/13 Permalink
Getting up towards 100 degrees is dangerous. Depending on how adventurous you are, installing a decent CPU fan might be worth your while. But yeah check dust and thermal paste first.
Also check case fans are circulating air through the case properly. |
07:21pm 02/03/13 Permalink
Okay just grabbed 4 120mm fans from dealextreme and I am going to check the thermal paste right now.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention whoop. edit: I checked for dust and it was fine |
08:25pm 02/03/13 Permalink
should have asked me fpot, I just threw out a bunch of working computer fans. :(
|
10:51pm 02/03/13 Permalink
They were like 4 bucks each but thanks anyway.
Sif you'd throw stuff out. |
11:06pm 02/03/13 Permalink
I'm having a massive cleanout. Throwing out heaps of s***, other s*** up on gumtree. Sick of having crap laying around that I "might need one day".
|
11:15pm 02/03/13 Permalink
I do that sometimes, and then that day comes :(

11:17pm 02/03/13 Permalink
i5 2500k @ 4.4ghz hits about 62 under load ( non stock cooler )
|
11:22pm 02/03/13 Permalink
I do that sometimes, and then that day comes :( It's all useless junk now though. Bits of old car parts for cars I no longer own, old computer crap like EDO ram! I've even got a 100 meg IDE hard drive ffs. |

So interesting development. I did a stress test of my video card (Radeon 7970) on its default settings (clockspeed 925Mhz memory 1375Mhz) and the temperature maxed out at 50 degrees C. So I overclocked it as high as the settings would allow (1125Mhz/1575Mhz) and stress tested and the temperature maxed out at 71 degrees C. From my googling that's a perfectly fine temperature for a GPU to run at so yay for that at least. It might be even lower when I get my extra fans.

I must have s*** power here or something because I generally can't overclock much passed stock. Yet if I give my brother the computer to use at his place, he can overclock the s*** out of everything and have it run stable. Unless he ups the voltage to silly levels (which I don't do).
