My computer hardware details are as follows:
Processor: AMD FX-8350
Graphics Card: Radeon RX 580
Memory: 8GB (being upgraded to 16GB on Wednesday)
Display Resolution: Fullscreen at 1920x1080
I’ll keep HWMonitor running in the background while gaming to monitor performance.
Typically, the game operates smoothly with temperatures around 60°C, which is acceptable and occasionally exceeds that slightly. However, I sometimes observe spikes where temperatures reach 190-230°C for just a brief moment – my processor hasn’t failed yet, thankfully – and I'm investigating the cause. Should I attempt to reinsert the CPU? I am also worried. I will share images when available.
Here is an example: (Measurement / Minimum / Maximum)

Verify that with an alternative application. HWInfo would be suggested. That will provide an accurate assessment of the temperature fluctuations you’re observing.

Undoubtedly, 190-230°C is a reading error. The system would power down long before reaching those temperatures.

Verify that reading with another application. HWInfo is suggested; it will provide an accurate assessment of the temperature fluctuations. Obviously, 190-230°C is incorrect—the system would power off long before reaching those temperatures.

Regardless, I’ve observed my CPU and GPU temperatures frequently approaching 70°C – is this acceptable?

Comfortable temperatures, without being excessively hot. Appears acceptable to me.

I am acquiring an improved processor heat sink.
