I5 8400 safe Temps?

[davisonbrah]

Just installed my new i5 8400 and it seems to be running hot while gaming. Destiny 2 after 30 mins I hit 79 degrees. Thought maybe it didn't seat properly so I removed and put better Thermal paste on and it cooled down a little but not much, 30 mins after reseating I hit 75 degrees.

I don't know if this is cause for concern or normal as I can't find much info on Temps while gaming with stock cooler but even 76 degrees seems a little high being my old cpu never broke 62 degrees overclocked.

Anyone with this cpu and stock cooler have any input?

Intel says absolute max is 100, but keep it below 80 just to be safe 75 is totally fine.

Appreciate it! Any advice on a decent cheap cooler?

stock is good enough, but if you want to get a 3rd party, get this:

Be sure the Hyper 212 will fit your case, it is 159mm tall. Cryorig H7 is shorter and compatible with more cases.

My i5-8400 runs at 55-60 with 100 tabs open, CPU revving at 3.8, and ram maxed out at 15/16 Gigs, so I would think 75 is a little hot? But in theory no problem?

75-80C would be expected under moderate load with Intel's cooler....

Under very heavy CPU load (Prime95, blender, etc.,) , they are reported to run right at the throttle point of 100C with the factory cooler, which is somewhat inadequate for a very heavy load...

That's good news for me, even if I live in Thailand, the temp runs at about 35 on idle and the max I have seen is 65 on full load, is it because I may have a good chip or MOBO?

It runs about 35-45 on average

INtel's Extreme Tuning Utility has an included CPU stress test, which induces a load about equal to Prime95/small FFTs, causing about 74C on my 7700K...(25C ambients, add 3C if your ambients are 3C higher, etc...)

Most gaming loads would be about 10C lower...

I'd expect 90C on a 8400 with factory cooler based on what I've read, so if you get lower, you got lucky! (IMO)

I just bought a case fan, just for fun, will put it on the back of the case, I have no graphic card, no gamming.

Should I pull the air in or push it out?
