Need opinion on CPU temps
Posted by Aura-Beast@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 3 comments
It has not been a while since i made the PC i aseembled it myself and had crazy troubles putting the CPU air cooler because i made a Mini AtX build. For some reason i feel the thermal paste has not been working properly. First i used to get ideal temps aroung 55-56 turns out the air cooler was not fully tight (Didn't understand because of the spring below the screws). I fixed it the temps were around 45-46 idle. Now the temps are going to 58-60 idle and i for some reason feel the thermal paste has dried up and my case is heating up like an oven even when i'm playing a non demanding game like FC 26. What could be other reasons for this rise in temps?

As long as you’re below 85c under load, don’t worry.

Idle temparature doesn't mean anything. Run benchmark tools like cinebench to see if it's overheating.

Until they're at 85°c + at 100% load you shouldn't care.
