CPU Temp standards
Posted: Mon Jun 29, 2015 1:34 am
I just build a new PC. I have built numerous PCs in the past but it has been 10 years since my last build.
I am running a
AMD FX6300 on an Asus M5A78L-M motherboard. I have 16 GB of RAM and a Sapphire dual X R9 280 video card with 3 GB of DDR5 RAM. It has a 500W power supply and two fans.
I know a lot about PCs but not a ton about cooling. My temperatures idle around 18-20C and under loads I run around 40-50C. My TJMax reads at 83c
My question is, I frequently spike temps in the high 60c and low 70c when under a full load. I have hit 79c a few times, but nothing higher. I would say I hover around the high 50s and low 60s most of the time, but I have no idea what is normal and if the spikes are something to be worried about.
One thing about my build is my case is somewhat small. I feel I get good airflow with a front and back fan on the case but I hate to shorten the life of the build. Long ago I never worried about heat much (not sure why, ignorance probably) but I am curious if I should be worried. I have been running fine with no issues for about two weeks now.
Thanks in advance for any help.
