40 Degrees Minecraft

[pcbuilderguy67]

I get 40 degrees on my gpu and cpu while playing minecraft on max settings is this normal?

Well it is not very hot so I would not worry.

Depending on the hardware you can see temperatures into the 70-80+ degree range on some cpus and video cards(if you apply enough load to them).

That's perfectly fine and safe.

What do you recommend as like a max temp

 

[KoopaCreeper]

Depends on your specs. My overclocked i5 goes up to 55ish while gaming (with a mid-tier air cooler) and that's perfectly safe. You want to start worrying at 75-80, and above 100 you could seriously damage the chip.

Same applies for GPU, but they tend to run a bit hotter.

Im running at stock clock speeds but thinking of overclocking

AMD Fx 8310

Yeah, that's a good temperature. If you overclock in the future, get a better heatsink if you're not using the stock one.
