Computer running hot?

[Smurfyy]

Heyy everyone!
this isnt a problem, just a question...
In the UK its getting hotter and so is my computer.
I just looked at my temp display and it shows 35 - 37 degrees C without my fans on, when i turn the fans on it goes down to 32 - 33.5 degrees C.
Is this hot/life threatening for the computer?

Thanks,
Daniel =)

In answer to your question, no it's not life threatening it's actually quite good.

It will only have the potential to do damage when it reaches 70 or 80+ and even then there's no guarantee anything will break if it's only for a short time; it also depends on your hardware configuration.

Most CPUs and GPUs have a built in cut off temperature (usually 100ºC) at which they switch off to prevent damage anyway.

Ahaa, okay.
I was just worried because its never gone over 30 degrees C.

Thanks!

If you think it's running abnormally hot I recommend two things:

Check your thermostat or ambient room temperature.

Check to make sure no unnecessary programs are running in the background heating up your CPU.

I'm looking forward to the 25ºC on Friday. :D

Roflmao If it reaches over 100 the cpu will fry

Lol, yeah.
I was talking about case temps...

Not necessarily. It could continue to function if there was no humidity in the air and no plastic anywhere near it, although the likely hood of that ever happening is so low that to be safe they put in the 100ºC cut off (interestingly mines 105ºC though :s).

I remember finding this video on youtube, and it was intel V amd when heatsinks are removed, amd just fryed up, intel just slowed right down until the heatsink was replaced.
