Temps When Encoding / 3570K.

[arc@css]

Hey,

Just a quickie really.

I've recently started using my cpu for encoding. Some of the core temperatures have been as high 80 - 90C. Is that too high for my cpu?

Ta.

howmuch cpu usage? seems a little high but still safe

When I next encode (should be later this evening) I'll post the cpu usage, Wazza.

Of course, using a stock cooler won't be helping.

It could probably do with a clean too, which should reduce the temps around 5 - 10C. As long as those temps aren't too serious, then I'll pick an aftermarket cooler when I get around to it. Cheers.

Does seem a little bit high, but not worryingly so. To be honest I wouldn't have expected those kinds of temps from even the stock cooler though... Maybe try reseating it and applying new thermal paste.

The funny thing is that the temps and other readings when in normal usage are very good.

Do you have a good intake and exhaust fan in the case?

My case is the HAFX. It may just need a clean.

Edit : After a fairly routine clean, temps have dropped around 5 - 8C.
