I7 9700 performance metrics

F5F Stay Refreshed Hardware Desktop I7 9700 performance metrics

Hello! I recently installed an I7 9700 and during a CPU stress test after roughly ten minutes, its temperature reached 83 degrees. In games it stayed below 75. I’m curious—does this temperature indicate it’s safe for the CPU’s lifespan? I have an LC power ARGB cooler with two fans installed. Should I consider upgrading to a better cooler? Also, I’m worried about AIO coolers.

Yeah, I didn't notice the CPU hitting over 60% load in games. It's likely better to keep it under 80%. Tnx for the answer!

Don't misunderstand, upgrade the cooler size. Once some dust accumulates, temperatures can rise rapidly—even during intense gameplay.
