So from what i can tell my temps aren't bad in anyway but it still makes me nervous. i have a 3700x with the wraith cooler. it stays around 45 to 65 c doing any of my normal activities but that includes idle on the lower of that. i changed my fan curve so it'd be more quiet and i know this thing can run hot and be fine but if just having youtube open puts it at around 50c and basically stays there or higher the whole time i'm using this thing, will it degrade it?
it did top out at 78.8 on the tdie and around 75 average when i ran cinebench so i'm not worried about it getting too hot. just the sustained temperature being what it is for very extended periods.
i'm anxious it shouldn't just always be above 50c constantly even with light use and dont know if i need to change the fan curve again and deal with the noise. i'm sure you all get this type of question all the time but i'm sure everytime you answer it, it eases someones mind so thank you in advance!
i also snagged some cheapo looking deep cool air cooler that came with a 3600 i found for 45 bucks, not sure if i should use that instead? the cooler i mean lol.
