Check your CPU temperatures to see if they're within normal range.
Check your CPU temperatures to see if they're within normal range.
Sure, I'm here to check if your CPU temperatures are within normal ranges during heavy loads. In the fire test, your graphics cards hit 60-50°C, while the physics test reaches 72°C and the combined temps sit between 73-76°C. If they get too hot, you won’t be able to clean the cooler or reapply thermal paste on your own, which might require taking your PC to a repair shop. Normally, gaming keeps temps around 60-65°C, but in games like GTA 5, they can spike to 75°C.
Such high temps won’t harm parts, but I’m unsure about the specs you’re using or the local climate. Those readings might be a bit higher than usual, but as long as you’re not pushing the system too hard and they don’t keep rising, there’s no immediate danger.
Other parts might also fail, not just the CPU. High temperatures can harm various components like RAM, storage, and power supplies. The hardware most vulnerable to CPU overheating damage includes memory modules, voltage regulators, and cooling systems.
CPU stays within safe limits at maximum performance. If readings reflect full load conditions, it indicates normal operation without risk to hardware.
Other components may also suffer damage from an unhealthy CPU. For example, a GPU can be affected too, and some people worry about it being fried if the CPU isn't functioning properly.
Typically, the motherboard is the main concern, but I won’t risk spreading wrong information about other parts getting harmed too. Thank you for bringing this up—I regret not having enough details to explain it clearly. I’ve heard about GPU overheating and M2 slots being affected by heat, but I’m unsure if just CPU temperatures could cause similar damage.
