i5 3550 Temps

Hi.

I was just wondering want kind of CPU temperatures are considered to be acceptable from a CPU of this type?

Those temps look just fine for idle temps. The temps you need to be concerned with are the core temps at 100% load. Stress your system out with Prime95 or LinX and keep a eye on the temps. I also suggest you download Realtemp 3.70 to monitor core temps as it will be more accurate.

I am not sure what is TJmax on those cpu's but you can check in realtemp settings. TJmax for the 3770k cpus are 105c so what that means is the cores wont start to throttle till they hit 105c. So for 24/7 use I would keep core temps to a max of 85c.

Hi Acebmxer,

I may just try that utility, I cannot overclock the CPU so as long as everything is functioning as it should I'm happy with that.

Ur temps r pretty great... Even on load u dont have to worry as long as u r not overclocking the processor to very high level, specially without a cooler...

Thanks for the reply Yousuf, yes I have no intentions of overclocking.
