What CPU and GPU temperatures are suitable for gamers to comfortably battle?

In order for the gaming PC to always work well, gamers need to pay special attention to heat dissipation / temperature.

The temperature problem of the CPU or GPU always makes gamers worry because when they stay too high when playing games or using heavy tasks, it can cause components to reduce their lifespan or directly affect their health. use process (causes pulse reduction, jerky lag…).

Currently, all PC systems from desktop to laptop are equipped with good sensors and an automatic ‘break’ mechanism or reduce the clock when the CPU or GPU reaches a certain dangerous temperature (usually 100 degrees Celsius). ). So gamers don’t need to worry about them ‘suddenly dying’ when used anymore, but maintaining high temperature operation is really not good, you can’t achieve the maximum performance of the hardware and I don’t know when they will break.

So, when should you worry about your gaming PC’s heat/cooling issue?

To monitor the temperature problem of the chips, most importantly the CPU and GPU, gamers can use some software like HWMonitor or HWiNFO 64 or Afterburn, turn it on with the game playing or when rendering… and Regularly monitor display parameters.

Usually, the 100-degree mark is extremely dangerous, around 110 – 120 degrees Celsius, your chip is likely to die suddenly, so the computer will turn itself off if the CPU and VGA temperatures reach this level. Therefore, we should pay more attention to the lower milestones. Note that the temperature when loading full load is important, of course if you don’t run anything but 55-60 degrees, there is definitely a problem.

– Below 60 degrees Celsius: Perfect, so cool

– From 60 – 70 degrees Celsius: It’s fine, if you’re careful, you can dust the heatsink

– From 70 – 80 degrees Celsius: Quite hot for the CPU, so check the thermal paste, the fan. As for the GPU, it’s still okay

– From 80 – 90 degrees Celsius: Overheating, should consider replacing the heatsink or cleaning it urgently because it will affect the life and performance of components.

Over 90 degrees Celsius: The danger is that the chip has been ‘squeezed’ by the system to ensure safety, need to deal with the heat dissipation problem immediately!
