HW Monitor

I just have a general question. I downloaded the app CHF listed as good. I am sure it is good but I am not. I do not know what temp my system should be at. There is no information on the app giving me a range that my system should be in. Right now the temp is give or take 60C. So, what is the high temp I should look out for? Does the app warn me if temp go critical? Thanks and thanks for the free app.

 

Dave, which program are you trying, by name? 60C is on the high side if you are talking about the cpu, Some graphic cards can run hotter.

 

CPUID HWMonitor. I have attached the results but today the core temp is way down, like 26C, was 62C yesterday. I just need to know a range on the high side to watch out for: Like 80C, 90C, 100C, etc.

 

Here is a good guide to CPU core temps.
Mine all run cool, as I run CPU coolers.
The cooler the better as your CPU will last longer.
Mine run in the 20-30 range even under heavy load.

 

Thanks Dougie appreciate the list. I looked under CHF recommended software and did not see any CPU coolers listed. Can you recommend one? Or is it even software? Hardware? Ty.

 

For CPU air coolers, I am happy with Coolermaster.
Have to make sure it will clear your side cover.
Most will clear normal tower cases.

Ok thanks Dougie, will check it out. take care.

 

In addition to Dougie's recommendation, which is a good one, I also like Noctura brand coolers. Specifically the NH D15S.
