Well i got a insane i7 12g ram gtx 295 or w/e rig.. so it runs 30-35 deg. C usually.. when multiboxing.. Today my computer crashed.. and i checked the temp and it was at 40.. is this a bad temperature?

40c so 104FOriginally Posted by Ogloo
I had a video card in my last PC that would shut down due to heat...and eventually got to the extent where it started shutting down sooner and sooner
soo.. is that bad?
Thought I included that sorry...
No that's still fairly low 40C I mean it shouldn't be a serious temp...as long as you are getting an accurate reading
ah k thanks!
No it is NOT a bad temperature, by any means. Now if it were 80C...I'd get worried.

My i7 runs at about 70c but it's OCed to 3.6ghz, been running that way since I got it and had zero problems.
My i7 runs at 60-65c with 5 clients open medium-high settings in dalaran.
40c is great and nothing to worry about.
*as Drizhal said, so long as you're getting a good reading. I use a program called coretemp.
35 C just means that you should OC it...a lot
My room is hotter than than 40c. I would try to keep the cpu under around 60c and the case/mb under 50c. Not that 50c is too hot but then your cpu wont cool as well. The best cpu fans/heatsinks can only keep the cpu at about 10c above the internal case temperature. So keeping you case cooler means a cooler cpu and more overclocking if you wish.
