temps value max

[elmar282803]

When you are reading the CPUs temperature which one is the indicator of its temperature the vale one or the maxwhich one one should you read the value or the max one

 

[CountMike]

No idea what are you talking about. Care to rephrase the question ?

 

[elmar282803]

I mean when reading the CPU temp which one should determines the current CPU temp the value or the max and which one should I read when playing online games the value or the max

 

[CountMike]

Yes. maximum temperature is most important. Depending on the program, it may show 2 different temps, "Core" and "Package or Die" temps.

 

[elmar282803]

When I'm playing online games which one should I pay attention the value or the max onecause when I'm playing games I get the temps at 65c in value and 90 in max is that OK which one is more important the value or the max

 

[CountMike]

It depends on the processor how high it should go but high temps for short time (few minutes) are more or less OK. Prolonged high temperatures may result in damage and/or deterioration.
Check processor specs for "normal" temperature range. Most modern processors have limits built in at which they would throttle down or even shut of when certain temps are reached.

When u are reading temps which one should you read value or max one what is the difference between the value temp and the max temp

Value is the current temp of the cpu, and max is the maximum temp that your cpu has reached.

 

[elmar282803]

So when reading it I should read the value not the max one

You should read both of them, but mostly the current value, yes. It should give you an idea of the average temps when playing.

 

[elmar282803]

Which one is responsible for the PC to auto restarts when it reaches a certain point is it the value or the max one

 

[CountMike]

Max of course.

 

[elmar282803]

What is the limit of max temp before it auto restarts

 

[CountMike]

Depends on processor.

 

[elmar282803]

I have an Intel i5 when I'm gaming it sometimes hits 90 iMac temp is that OK what is the limit before it auto restarts

Question from elmar282803 : "CPU max temp"

When reading CPU temps which one do read the value or the max one

Well it depends what you are looking for.
If your trying to know what the max temps are you look at the max temp.
If you have an option i would look at the average temps.

if you have a chart or logs to plot a chart, it will be more meaningful.
download coretemp or somehting and just log your cpu temp in a log file, then use excel to plot a x.y chart.
average temp is not an accurate measure as your cpu cycles from idle to loaded based on usage and has little pattern.

But that is why you have max temp too.

max temp shows the absolute peak recorded, from stats point of view, this number is relatively meaningless without knowing its relationship to the sample size. that's why charts are more meaningful than just a single x.y points. could even be a outlier in some cases.

let's say if you record your heart rate during a 2 hr time period, and your max heart rate record is 150, i don't know if it's always at 140-150 or 110-120 and for a split second went up to 150, or if its 60-70 and you went for a number 2, and heart rate shoots up to 150. average don't work well either because there is a range of activities during this period.

It´s a bit high, but if it´s just occasional it´s okay, the max temp is about 100 to 105 degrees when it restarts.
