CPU Temp's, Are these too high?

[Colbaker]

Hi all,

Got myself a little work computer (Intel NUC) with a Pentium N3700 (brasswell) in and as I will be using it as my work computer for the foreseeable future (nothing major, Normal office applications and will be using it to remotely log into work via Internet Explorer for 8 hours a day).

Just ran burn in test on it for 15 mins, Testing graphics/RAM/SSD and the max core temp got to 67 Degrees.

Is this way too much?, Obviously I will rarely be maxing out all 4 cores when working but I am just concerned when it gets to the summer months that the computer will overheat, Especially as I am going to be adding another SSD to it in the near future (at the moment it has just a 32Gb M2 SSD).

Or is there any software that will burn in the computer but in a real world sort of way instead of maxing everything out?

It's absolutely fine. You'd never reach those sort of temps under normal usage.

Also, you don't "burn in" computers. You stress for stability when overclocking but with a NUC, no. Just use it as normal.

Temps are fine, as above.
The braswell uses a passive heatsink, as it only consumes 6-8watts under idle, 8-13 watts under load. Depending on the manufacturer of the board and bios will affect if the cpu tgrottles from it's turbo speeds. But 60-70c is usually fine.

i have the same cpu in my Intel NUC NUC5PPYH and i have seen temps of 74C + when transcoding on Plex , all normal

Most Intel chips will be fine up to 100 degrees. Not that I would want to see one running that hot mind you...

Thanks for the replies, I have been PRIME95'ing it now for nearly 2 hours, Max temp is 71 degrees and that's only on 1 core, the others are a few degrees below 70, That's with 2 hours of max out core.

Why?

Prime 95 a Intel NUC. No. Just No. A pointless waste of time energy and life. Nothing to be gained from doing this imho.

If you expect to run it 100% continuously then this is a good way of determining peak temperatures. Especially if it's going into an unusual place, e.g. a hot enclosure.

If you're using it for office stuff as stated in the OP, then as the others have said it's not necessary. They're well designed and run pretty cool.

Stress testing is for testing your overclock is stable.

Even if you moved to Africa the temps wouldn't get as high as when your stress testing.
