i5-3350p GHz jumping alot (PLZ HELP)

[janostak]

so i have a used i5-3350p and i am running intel processor diagnostics program and my cpu seems to me jumping for 3.1(where it is supposed to be) all the way to 4.3GHz and im starting to get worried something may be wrong? if you need anymore info plz ask. temputure dosent go over 60 and i do not have nor use any overclocking programs

janostak - with all due respect to most of the good people, but they are acting like boars in this case, and they're leaving their graphics card core to 60°C because "it can take it", and are following paper specifications. No, keeping it under 90°C is not good at all. It's good if You plan on running it for 1-2 years tops, and have a lot of luck by Your side. Every semiconductor and/or transistor in cpu/gpu is "good" with >50°C, CPUs are fine under 60°C "in general" and if it must be, keeping them under 70°C is recommended [of course, many will survive even 80-90°C for longer time]. Everything above is playing with the longetivity and lifespan of the processor - not by the book of course! - though, to my current experience, keeping stuff as I thought it should be kept is making my builds "immortal", whilst others wrestle and suffer from early loss way too soon - that's why I have so much work which is good...

And I meant the thermal interface material, that's between processor itself, and integrated heat spreader, not the one between integrated heat spreader and coolers upstanding area. You can't change it, it's there from the factory.

Well, You can theoretically change it, if You delid it, but don't do that, not in Your current situation.

wht was the thing about GPU jw whats a good average temp for a gpu

janostak - in general people trust in papers, which say that GPU temp is good at 60°C while idling, while I trust to below 40°C at idle, and up to 70-75°C at burn.

ok well mines usally in the 30 range while idle and never goes over like 65...thank you for your help

I'm glad I could've been of service
