Question temperature

[eternity777]

My CPU typically runs at about 71 degrees while working all day . is this too hot?

something to be worried about, or is that acceptable ?

idle temp, or just using it for something simple like this site is 35 degrees

The quick general answer to your questions is that I don't see any problems.

However, since temperatures vary widely with differences in environmental conditions, hardware configurations and software workloads, it's important that you share the details with us.

So when posting threads on our Forums, you can better help us to give you the most accurate information by always providing full system specifications such as:

AMD or Intel ? (thermal spec's vary)
Which CPU model ?
Ambient room temperature ?
CPU cooler ?
Motherboard ?
Case model ?
Intake / exhaust fans ?
Graphics card ?

Yuuup.... its pretty high.
35° is pretty decent, depends on the cooler tho. If it is with the stock cooler, youre all good!

Buuuuut.... 71° at load is high, very high. If youre using an stock cooler, its kinda normal. But, also depends on the ventilation of the case.

Also, are you using an laptop? If youre using one, it is highly reccomended to clean it of dust and maybe get an laptop cooler.

71 is not high... usually way below thermal throtteling...

Thank you for responding, I appreciate your feedback

it is an HP Omen tower, everything stock, no amendments.
I am a computer illiterate, if I remove the glass side, could that help a bit ?
however, I wouldn't want everything to become dusty in there.

someone mentioned some type of product (arctic silver)
I could put apply?

do you have a link for that procedure I could look into ?

would it be worth the effort ?

thank you again

if I were to enable the "Dual force " , connecting both ethernet and wi-fi at the same time, would that speed up my computer and make it run more efficient ?

would that increase the CPU temperature as well ?

thank you for responding

In what ways do you find it "lacking"? Does your system have a SSD?
Temps would not rise if this is done.

HP Omen tower

Oh, then its alright.
OEM PCs tend to have pretty high temperatures overall, and taking off the glass wont help.
Its not reccomended to have 71° at load, but if it is in an OEM CP, then thats fine and dandy.

No need to worry anymore, just enjoy thy PC.

For any modern Intel/AMD CPU a temperature of 71 C under load is perfectly fine, OEM or not.
