Currently running a decent computer
Specs: Intel HD Graphics 4600 (Acer Incorporated [ALI])
Acer Aspire TC-605 (LGA1150)
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz
Intel Core i5 4440 @ 3.10GHz

Question: I'm wondering if they get too hot
Motherboard sits around 47c when idle/webbrowsing
CPU sits around the same(And GPU, since intergrated, should sit around the same)

When playing Casual games, such as Garrys Mod or Counterstrike Global Offensive
It gets up to 55-57c on all parts

But when playing Star Wars: The Old Republic, it gets up in the 60s
60c for CPU
and 61-67 for my Motherboard(Speccy doesn't say my GPU, but around the same)

Is that too hot? How hot should they get?
My cooling is two fans I believe
Thanks!

EDIT 1: Answers so far good, but I should broaden my question
What is a good range for idle temps(In celcius please)
a good range for moderate load
And a good range for heavy/full load
 
Solution


Its fine. The motherboard temp is pretty normal. As to a good temp range, Intel tests processors at 22C ambient. If you're room is hotter than that, add however many degrees C hotter it is to the temps I give. A god idle temp range is between 30C-40C. Full load should be between 70C-75C. That "moderate load" rating is pretty hard to give, because my idea of moderate load could be different that yours. But I would say somewhere around 50C-60C.


No its not too hot. For an AMD CPU, yes, that would be. Intel has the threshold somewhere around 90-95C.
 

Thanks! I'll keep the thread open for a little longer to get other knowledge on it
I just get incredibly paranoid /sigh
 


My i5 3210M can hit nearly 100C in my MacBook Pro Retina 13" when I'm photo editing.
 


Oh and keep the thread open, and when someone solves you're question hit the "best solution" button on their response.
 
I had a second gen i3 350m and while playing minecraft the cpu would be aroung 100-130 degrees and my desktop cpu g3258@ 4.3 ghz sits around the same temps while gaming.
intel cpus are also made to go to 72 degrees so 72 and under is in the green 72 and over is damage point for desktop cpus so id say the same for mobile ones.

and if your that worried about heat you can get cooling stands for 5-30 dollars. mine droped my temps down 10-30 degrees.

hope this helped
 


And what about the Motherboard and CPU?
