CPU Temp TJMAX Lower when starting big games, why ?

[Ompalompa]

Hey, just checked my CPU temp and realise that the tjmax is around 50 when i play a big game like No man Sky, is that normal ? And can somebody tell me if i should invest in a cpu cooler ?
have some screenshot of pc details and from HWINFO64:

That's fine.

What distance to TJMax means is the distance between your current CPU temperature and the temperature at which it overheats. As long as the difference is more than 10C, you're fine.

But issnt it better that the tjmax is higher ? IMy pc is just 2 months old, cpu is good, sometimes they are the same temperature. about 50 ish. can it take damage then ?

TJMax vs temperature? You're asking if it's better that the distance to TJMax is higher than the temperature?

That's not entirely true. While having a higher distance between the CPU temperature and the point at which it overheats will allow the CPU to operate for a longer period of time before failing, the difference is nominal. If you keep an i7 6700K at 75C, it may last fifteen years. If you keep it at 50C, it may last sixteen years. Do you get what I'm saying? Even if the temperature is higher than you're comfortable with, it won't take any noticeable damage from heat as long as it's below the TJMax.

Your temperatures are fine. As long as you're at least 10C away from the maximum temperature, your CPU is not going to fail from heat related issues.

Okey, Thank you

No problem, glad to help
