AMD FX-8370 How hot is too hot?

[eetu85]

I would like to know what is the approximate degree celsius that an FX-8370 shuts down at.
And also what is normal for it.
I'am getting 80-82 degrees celsius when I run it on Heavyload and then my PC shuts down.
I ask because I want to know if it is my CPU or something else. TY!

28-40 is normal, 67C is the highest it will go before freezing your PC and/or bluescreen.. The temperatures it reads are not accurate in your case. If your PC shuts down it may be a good idea to invest in better airflow, CPU cooler, and stay away from carpets- preferably have it sitting on a table.

A lot of third-party programs have a hard time giving you accurate temperature read-outs on AMD CPU's

I suggest you check this out:

Monitoring with AMD overdrive will help us determine if your CPU is the problem or if it's something else. What is your full system build?
