Higher Temperature on i3 4150

[prahlad.dasp]

Hey I have a cpu i3 4150 that's ideal temperature is around 40-50 c but while gaming the temperature hits up to 60 - 72 c is it save to use in this temperature or I should be worry about that

That's fine. 72 C is no big deal, especially since you're probably using that crappy stock cooler that Intel provides. Either way, there's nothing to worry about here.

On behalf of Tom's Moderator Team, welcome aboard!

Although Intel's Thermal Specification for "Throttle" temperature is 100°C for your i3 4150, it is, of course, not advisable to allow a processor to approach Core temperatures that high.

Here's the operating range for Core temperature:

Core temperatures above 85°C are not recommended.

Core temperatures below 80°C are ideal.

Core temperatures increase and decrease with Ambient temperature.

Your Core temperatures are OK, however, "gaming" is typically a light to moderate CPU workload. A decent aftermarket cooler would give you more thermal headroom to accommodate higher seasonal ambient temperatures, as well as giving you the option to run heavier workloads, if you ever need to do so.

Well i run my i3 at 60-70 dialy on stock cooler until i run games which are intensive and switch on rear exhaust ( for over a year), and also if i undervolt cpu 1.015V (1.1V stock) it runs even cooler also igpu enabled.

Just to say.
