What is considered unsafe temperature for gpu and cpu?

[conormcgregor809]

Hi! Well, I'm playing my first time on a pc gaming, but I kinda see that the temperature is kinda high.. I think I was getting 70 on the gpu, on ultra 1080p but the game is old.. Is the metro 2033 redux and my graphic card is the gtx 1070 and it was reaching and surpassing 100% I was like wtf? I have the i7-6700k for the cpu I was getting 60 I think it was don't remember.. Also, is not oc... What is considered bad temperature? Where I should start caring about the cpu and gpu? Thank you!

Intel publishes these specs. TJmax for a 6700K is 100c, and it will reliably run pretty close to that almost indefinitely. I would not be concerned if you're seeing even 70-80, or maybe even higher CPU temps.

GPUs, it varies but I find most manufacturers tend to target 70-85c. If you were to improve the cooling somehow, the card would probably just run the fans slower and you'd have less noise at the same temperature.

EDIT: This is for stock operation. Intel validates their CPUs for these temperatures only at stock voltage and clockspeed. If you're overclocking, a combination of elevated voltage and temperature can reduce the life of your devices.

Generally above 80c is grounds for mild concern with a CPU, at this point i'd turn up fan profiles or get a new cooler if using the stock one, although this scenario is unlikely unless you're using the stock cooler with the 7700 and or rendering stuff under high load over long periods of time.
Generally for GPUs, most manufacturers target 75c-ish while providing a good balance of performance and acoustics, however if OCing, and your graphics card gets to the mid 80s, crank up fan profiles a touch and lower voltage a bit.

I'm using the cryorig h7 tower. It has good reputation..

The H7 is a great cooler, your temps are perfectly fine.

Yeah, but isn't 30/35% usage and temp 57/65 celcius something bad? I mean.. What about when I start playing havier games? And my cpu reach more than 80% of usage, would my temperature go really high?

Why not try and find out? You're not going to damage your CPU.

No it isn't bad.
As I said, 80c is when you should start to worry.
