Question Are these temps normal in 8600G with stock fan?

Hi

Using the stock fan, with replaced thermal paste for a decent one, I got around 35-40 degrees in IDLE, 60-80 when working and 70-80 when gamming, even 85 sometimes with a peak of 95 in a isolated point of stalker call of prypiat bench, and going into 90 when strees testing the cpu with stress test software.

Are these temperatures dangerous? will the lifespan of the cpu will be reduced?

Sounds about right with the stock frisbee cooler. It won’t do any damage (it’s designed to handle up to 100C) but almost any aftermarket cooler will do better. A thorough dusting, along with improving case ventilation, will optimise what’s already installed.

96 degrees using handbrake

is this normal and safe for the cpu then?

another heatsink is not possible at this moment due to the computer case
