Am I Running Too Hot?

[George_204]

Here's my max temps after about half an hour of gaming, Skyrim Special Edition, mid-high settings:

AMD FX-9370 - 74 C
AMD Radeon R9 280x - 93 C

That looks alarming to me, but I'd like a second opinion before I drop money on fixing / upgrading my cooling.

And yes, I've got lots of fans, I dust regularly, and my computer is out in the open with plenty of air flow.

If you wanted low temps why did you put a nuclear reactor into your computer? Nothing keeps those 9*** series chips cool. And likely will eventually tear your boards power delivery up. And work its way to the rest of your system. Those chips never should have been released

I agree the FX 9 series is a horrible CPU.

74c after 30mins of gaming isn't the end of the world, its hot but still inside the normal parameters of temperatures.
now that video card seems bloody hot, I would inspect the thermal paste/replace it and make sure the fan is properly working/replace it

So the FX-9370 typically runs too hot, but at the moment 74c isn't too bad - but the GPU is definitely running hotter than it should, and I should get it checked out.

Thanks!
