Are these temperatures safe for my computer?

[c0bra067]

Modern GPU's are designed to take a lot of heat; like Red said triple digits is pushing it, if it becomes a larger problem clean out the case (dust bunnies kill hardware if left) and obviously make sure the fans are working properly, if not buy new ones..

 

even if your hardware can take it, as it gets hotter it just become more and more inefficient anyways.

your guyses comps idle high, mine at full load only hits maybe 60C idle temps are like 30C

That's probably your CPU McBride. CPU's really shouldn't get over 80, although they'll still function. They also idle at low temps, since when they idle very little is going on. GPUs, on the other hand, have to process the desktop and send signals to the monitor when they idle, so they already won't idle very low. And they do much more work at full load. (A lot of the temps discussed were GPU temps.)

 

However, if that is your GPU, do you mind telling me which model it is?

CPU Under 80 preferably

 

GPU under 100 preferably

 

Use furmark for testing

my GPU is an 8800GT with a modified Heatsink, i bought a different heatsink with a single fan and heatpipes. ill send you link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835887021

 

i bought this for my 9600GT a while back but it also fits my 8800GT

thats almost as hot as clouds mom

My idle temp is about 43-45c....thought it might be higher seeing as how I've opened my case up to clean it once in 4-5 years...and it was maybe 3 years ago.

My idle Temp is generally @ like 35c for CPU and roughly 49-51c on load. My GPU use to be about 44c on load but has shot up to 69c since the cooling fan broke and I took off the heatsink (yeah I know I need to replace it). Not to mention I've probably turned my computer off about 4 times in the past year. Shutting down/starting up is just a waste of time..

Is an AMD Phenom II X4 810 CPU @ ~57C, and a ASUS EAH5750 @ ~79C for over 12 hours an okay temperature? Or am I pushing it too hard?

They are both clocked at stock.

 

Are these temperatures safe for my computer? How about for a few days at a time at these temperatures?

Or am I going to fuck up my hardware?

 

Lol, the CPU on my phone is safe until 60C. You should be fine.

My GPU idled at 30c when the ball bearings were broke on it's shitty small fan. Now I'm using a 120mm fan sitting on top of two hard drive trays and my soundcard. 40c idle, never above 60c load. Then again, it's only a shitty 4850.

What are your electric bills like?
