CPU temps

[Minibiker]

Hi all

So I've seen a few posts about CPU temps and whether or not they are the right temp for the CPU...

How do you all know what temps your CPU should be sitting at? Or is it a case of all CPU's should sit around the same temps?

Only reason I ask is because I'm trying to gain more knowledge about it

Cheers

There is no fixed rule for this and it will change from cpu to cpu. All cpus have a tjmax this is the max temp before a cpu with shut down.

When I over clock Intel cpu's I like them to be under 75c when at max load. And around 60c in gaming load.

The other big difference is how you cool them. You will see much better results with after market coolers with a well ventilated case.

Cheers for the replies.... I've noticed AMD seem to run hotter, is there a reason behind this? I'm guessing if you want really low then Watercooling is the best way right?

Amd do use more voltage. But if your looking at Intel vs amd it's like apple's and orange's, people like to compare the two but you cant really.

Amd idle hotter but when your looking at at 9900k intel runs a hell of a lot hotter.

You.can get a ruff idea of what temps a cpu should run at but ever cpu is a little different ever 2 or the same type
