maximum operating temperature of thermal paste
maximum operating temperature of thermal paste
Hi guys,
My CPU fan didn't work today, so my CPU went to 100C. The strange part is I didn't notice any performance problems, even though I didn't run anything heavy. I noticed something unusual while checking the BIOS. After fixing it, the computer worked fine. How worried should I be? Did this cause any damage to my CPU (except for overheating)?
My CPU is an Intel i7 7700 Kabylake.
Second question: Should I replace the thermal paste on my socket because of the high temperature it experienced today?
Thanks,
Daniel
I would prefer to ensure safety because high temperatures might cause dryness and reduce effectiveness.
I am extremely upset about GIGABYTE. The standard setting is to do nothing when the CPU fan is off! I worry about possible damage to my CPU.
the bios provide information regarding fan speed, and it may require reprogramming the board. consider testing with a different cpu fan first and using hwinfo to view sensor data.
Verify your paste specifications?
Extended Temperature Ranges:
Peak: –50°C to >180°C
Long-Term: –50°C to 130°C

That setup would not cause any damage at all
