Very high CPU temperatures!

[Ajsmith595]

I've looked elsewhere and seen people are getting worried when their CPU temperature gets to 81C. Well, while playing Player Unknown's Battlegrounds, both my CPU and GPU usage were at 100%, my GPU exceeded 81C, and I saw my CPU consistently at 104C! This is only for this game, but I do not know how to lower my CPU temp. I am using the CAM monitoring software and have an Intel Core i5 3350P, and a MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB.

For Intel that is just starting to get hot and Something to worry. If it gets into the upper 80's then you may need better cooling. If you want better cooing than stock this cooer is great.

They OP said the CPU hit 104C. Im not sure if the sensor is even correct as it should have throttled way down. If it is correct then yes this is a issue. The GPU hitting 81C isn't going to be something to worry about.

If that number is correct, you are hitting your thermal limit, which is bad. Remove the cooler, replace the paste, reinstall ensuring the cooler is correctly mounted. There should be a click for each push pin, ensure they are all tight.

use this on sensor page to recheck temp https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php also what kind of air flow you have in this case .

Shows the same result. I think I'll be getting a new CPU cooler soon; I think I'll get the Hyper 212 Evo.

If you can get a CRYORIG H7 I would do that instead of the Hyper Evo 212 as the Cryorg is about the exact same price. The Cryorg is slightly smaller, quieter and offers a little better performance. Its the new 212 so to speak.

Ok. Thank you for the advice, much appreciated. Will get that for my birthday soon then.

UPDATE: I cleaned the layer of dust which was between my heatsink and fan and added a case fan for intake - this solved the issue; it now peaks at 75C.

 

[scout_03]

how many other fans you have in case and air flow direction of them .

The one I added was the first and only case fan I added. It was as an intake fan.

 

[scout_03]

how many fans case could handle .

 

[Ajsmith595]

My case is small, so it can only have 2 case fans in it.

 

[scout_03]

one in front that push air in and the back one to take hot air out you might have to get a better air flow case to reduce with more fans in .
