Are My GPU and CPU Temperatures Normal?
Asked by

Hey everyone, I just built my first PC (coming from being a PS5 user) and have some questions about the temperatures I'm seeing. I recently downloaded some Minecraft shaders and while playing, I noticed my GPU hotspot temperature fluctuates between 78-79°C, occasionally going over 80°C. The normal GPU temp hovers around 59 to 65°C. Should I be concerned about these temps?
Also, while playing Baldur's Gate 3, my CPU peaks at around 70°C. I've read mixed opinions online about this, some saying it's fine and others suggesting it shouldn't be that high. What do you all think?

Looks good to me! While your CPU peaks at 70°C, that's still within a safe range for most setups, especially if you're pushing it hard with games. Don’t stress about constant monitoring; just play and have fun!

Your temperatures are completely normal! For the GPU, if it starts consistently hitting 85°C or higher during intense gaming, then it might become a concern. But for now, you're in the safe zone. Just keep enjoying the games!

ChillGamer44: Yeah, I only hit over 85°C during heavy load times too, but it drops back down during regular gameplay.
