[SOLVED] safe cpu temps

[george.tancre]

i have an i9 9900k cpu, was wondering what temps i should be looking for that would be over normal. yesterday i was gaming all day and i was at about 48 degrees celsius. what would be a normal range of temp and what would be a bad temp range?

100C is bad. At 100C the CPU will downclock to prevent damage. For me as a daily driver, I like to see my CPU temps under load average below 80C. Anything below 80C is fine for long term. 48C is very low and you have absolutely nothing to worry about with those temps.

48C, i'd be suspicious that it's bad reading it's so low. What cooling are you using and what are your idle temps?

ok so rn ive been playing world of warcraft for about an hour and im at 40 degress celsius and at 9-13% usage while gpu is at 75% usage.
idle temps are about 30 degrees for the cpu and 50ish for gpu

What cooling and ambient temp do you have
