Today I sent in my faulty Graphic Card to be replaced under warranty and they said it'll take about a month to receive a replacement (from overseas). I've been using my PC without a graphic card and I recently read here AMD FX series doesn't have integrated graphics.
When I first started using it sans-GPU Windows looked like safe mode but later it updated itself and now my resolution's fine and I can watch HD videos and stuff, but I notice temperature readings shoot up as soon as I start watching youtube videos or twitch streams. Core temp (on Core Temp) goes towards 50 degrees C, and (I think) Thermal margins (on AMD Overdrive) go towards 20-30 degrees C, after some time as low as 10 (these things fluctuate a lot...)
I'm wondering if it's really okay for me to be using my PC very often and watching a lot of multimedia like this for the next month while I wait for my graphic card. I read these CPUs can go up to 62 degrees safely before they overheat? Does that mean it's okay to hit high temps for long periods as long as it doesn't surpass those numbers?
My room is pretty cold usually (got AC) and I haven't had problems thus far.
Processor: AMD FX-6300
Mainboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 (no on-board graphics AFAIK)
Monitor is only 1366x768px
p.s. my first post .-.
p.p.s. does a red colour on Overdrive's frequency readings mean anything bad? and blue on thermal margins A okay?
