CPU REACHES 99 DEGREES CELSIUS ON 100% LOAD IS THIS NORMAL?

Hi, i have a HP ENVY 15-j171nr and evrytime i run a cpu intensive program where it puts the cpu to 100% load, My cpu temperature jumps to 99 degrees celsius and stays there. Is this normal? of could i have a bad heat sink? Intel rates the CPU (i7-4700k) to 100 degrees celsius.

Hi Sorrentino,
This is normal behavior.

  • FM2-A75MA-E35 with A10-5700, CPU temperature at 85c!!! Is this normal?

    I just put together the system, see below (no overclocking), and using AMD Overdrive for stability test with CPUID software to monitor temperature:
    FM2-A75MA-E35
    A10-5700 Boxed using stock fan
    Patriot signature DDR3 8G 1333mhz 
    1T WD Greennnn..........
    At room temperature about 25c
    1. In BIOS, temperature after boot up jumps quickly from 25c to idle at 58c and the fan spinning at about 3200 RPM. It sounds like a small refrigerator.
    2. Idle in Windows 7, CPUID displays CPU temp at 42c.
    3. Stability test using AMD Overdrive with all components selected, CPU temp shoots up to MAX at 85c!!!!! average about 75c!
    I found out that A10-5700 maximum temperature is 71c.  I double check everything (connections and fan) and update the BIOS then run it again, the same results show up. 
    Is there anything wrong?

    Thanks Joe and wlahdone,
    I am currently waiting for the new A10-5700 CPU. 
    Have you try the last BIOS version 1.7 (1/29/2013) with Update CPU AGESA code?
    I also had BIOS problem. 
    BIOS version that come with the board, It hung when I try to save changes and exit. This issue has been reported by another user.
    BIOS version 1.5, Solved the save changes problem.
    *Both versions have the same funny temperature reading.
    I don't want to spend much time with this, I only need a simple PC or two, just driving to the PC store gas cost a lot of money these days.
    I had the same issues when i ve bought it - the freezing at save.
    It seems the board comes with BIOS 1.2 which is bugged ,it simply takes the OC settings at the first boot and overclocks the FSB ,this giving the freezing most probable.
    Clearing CMOS or pressing F6 and then F10 in BIOS solves the problem.
    I am on BIOS 1.5 and it s ok.
    The HW Monitor reports the 0 Celsius for the onboard video ,but i really don t care.
    I ve thrown at it Windows XP ,Windows 7 ,Open SUSE 12 ,Linux Mint and Simply Mepis.
    They all worked fine in spite of the little 5300 APU that i use for this HTPC , it runs everything
    I ve made myself a toy that plays 1080p and routes in same time ,a pleasure to see it in action
    After AMD releases the new APU-s ill switch from a AM3+ rig to one of these.
    The board BIOS reports nice temps if you use a proper cooler.

  • X200 CPU reaches 100 celsius degrees. is this normal?

    I'm using LenovoThinkVantage Toolbox to do a CPU stress test and and the same time I'm running TPFanControl to monitor the speed of the fan and the temperature of the CPU.
    When I run the CPU stress test the temperature of the CPU reaches 100 degrees celcius with the fan going at 7000rpms which all of it sounds excessive and not right to me. Is this normal? or there is something wrong with my system.
    Thanks in advance

    100C is around the maximum the CPU can deal with before sustaining damage.  Even then, running at that temperature for extended periods of time is most certainly going to be problematic.
    I can't imagine it was designed to be run that way, so I'm guessing there's a problem.  Maybe a heatsink is not seated properly, or something is obstructing airflow.  Either way, I'd say that if you're under warranty it's worth having the depot take a look.

  • Macbook CPU full load, 99 degrees celsius

    On my late 2008 13" Macbook 2.4ghz when I run 2 instances of "yes > /dev/null" for 10 minutes to stress the CPU, the CPU temperature is at 99 degrees celsius even with the fans going at the maximum 6200 rpms and while using a cheap cooling pad. I took the computer to an Apple store "genius" and he thought this was normal. Is anyone else seeing temperatures like this using this stress test method? I looked at the website http://www.intelmactemp.com/ and highest full load temperature I see for this computer is 84 degrees celsius. I have noticed problems running intensive 3d games where the system slows down from high temperatures and more so under Windows XP.
    This computer is 4 months out of warranty but until recently I never ran intensive programs and so never noticed the problem. What can I do about this, I feel Apple should be responsible for this.

    Hi MindBrain,
    Saw your post last night but didn't have immediate access to 13" MacBook (Aluminum). So I've got a 2.4GHz unit with 4GB of RAM and ran two instances of the same command in Terminal.
    All information is reported via iStat Pro:
    CPU Temp before test - 76 (fans at 1998 RPM)
    CPU Temp @ 5 minutes into test - 96 (fans at 2001 RPM)
    CPU Temp @ 10 minutes into test - 97 (fans at 3100 RPM)
    CPU Temp @ 15 minutes into test - 103 (fans at 5800 RPM)
    CPU Temp @ 20 minutes into test - 106 (fans at 6200 RPM)
    CPU Temp @ 25 minutes into test - 108 (fans at 6200 RPM)
    For thoroughness, I also opted to run the test on a brand new 13" MacBook Pro, a 2 year old white MacBook 2.2GHz and another MacBook Aluminum. It's convenience I have when surrounded by 5600+ Macs across campus. All of the other machines also reported similar numbers, breaking the 100 degree threshold between 12-13 minutes into the test.
    While I do not wish to discredit that URL, in all honesty I've probably had three times the number of entries on that website (611 as of this post) come across my desk in the past year for various reasons. So I really can't see that as being a valid resource to support an argument.
    Not to mention it was your decision to not purchase AppleCare on your computer within the one year window, it was also your decision to not properly ensure adequate function of your machine prior to conclusion of the one year limited warranty. There was no responsibility on behalf of Apple to obligate you to stress test the machine 4 months after the one year warranty expired.
    Lastly, is the sluggishness only in Windows XP or is it occurring on the Mac side as well?

  • Cpu over 100 degrees celsius

    Hi
    just got a new macbook, late 2008, and encoded 3 vids to play on sons ipod. Not until the 3rd one when i had everest installed, (using xp under bootcamp), that i noticed the cpu temp rise to and maintain a value around 100 degrees celsius. i have taken steps via software (smcfan and that tweaking software that goes with it) to increase fan speed uunder xp. Should i be worried that my macbook will have a shorter life span considering i had it at 100 degrees c for bout an hour? (Also, Is this a fault in my particular macbook, ie warranting a replacement?)

    Hi,
    My name is Harris and i am an Apple Store Genius.
    100C (212 F) is the hottest that the CPU should go. Pao1250 is right in saying that it will shut down. But when it gets to the point where it will shut down, some damage may have already been done. If you encode videos and it goes to 100, that is fine. As long as you cool it down after not to long of a period of time. If it goes much more above that, bring it to one of us at the genius bar.

  • 93 degrees celsius CPU TEMP!! and performance is degrading

    Hey Guys.
    I have had my MacBook Pro for about 10 months and now my battery is at 60% health one day and then will fluctuate to 89% health the next.
    Recently too, a lot of software has been hanging up and I get the rotating beach ball of doom. The machine has also been running rather unusually hotter than normal. For example I'm just watching a YouTube Video and listening to music in iTunes at the CPU reaches a heat of about 75 degrees celsius. About 5 months ago this would only occur if I was rendering or encoding files. Last night I was encoding a movie into MPEG4 and my CPU reached a whopping 93 degrees celsius!!!
    I have tried resetting the Power Management control but that didn't help.
    Is anyone else having similar issues?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Chris Hall

    Hi Chris,
    Oh, your battery health fluctuations might be related to the heat issue your experiencing, since lithium polymers hate heat. If your using the system plugged into it's adaptor, you can prolong the battery life by removing it, once it's fully charged. Your MBP will continue to run but remember to insert the battery before you unplug cause the system will just power down/shut down; thus lose work.
    Do yourself a favor, try saving your CPU's from overheating, they're gonna die if they keep on being cooked or fried!!! I found this utility that give me more control over those internal fans, i'd advise you to tweak the default speed from the standard 2000 RPM to a more realistic 2200 RPM (anything above 3500 RPM starts becoming noisy).
    Personally, I've managed to lower the processor temps from the frightening 71-75°C to a more comfortable 50°C. Give it a try and tell the rest of us what you think.

  • Problem - Playing media stops when CPU reaches 100%

    Hi,
    I have a big problem, I use JMF for playing my videos and music for my video game.
    But if the CPU reaches 100 % the playing media stops and if the Processor is in the state less as 100% it continues playing.
    But windows media player continues playing for some seconds after reaching 100%.
    Would it help to increase the Buffer with BufferControl or is this a problem for Java?

    You can't really compare JMF to the windows media player because your java app is undoubtedly doing other things at the same time as it's playing your music and videos. Win media player just has to worry about playing the video/music

  • X-fi driver causes 6-8 degree celsius rise in my CPU Processor!!!

    Heres the simple and short version of my problem:
    I have a X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro Series PCI-E in an AMD Phenom 9950 Black processor, Gigibyte motherboard, with 2x 2 GB 066 Mhz sticks of OCZ ram.
    When the SB driver is enabled it causes my core temperature of my processor to jump 6-8 degrees celsius. When disabled it drops immeadiately to back down to what it was before. The card is of course still in the motherboard, I have tried it in my friends computer and we get the same results. The driver is causing the core processor to jump in temperature significantly. I thought maybe it was my card so I took it back and switched it out for another, SAME THING. I switched out the motherboard, the ram and the cpu, same issues. All my drivers are up to date.
    Here is the long version I sent to Creative tech support:
    First off I want to say I love the way the card is built and designed and how it looks but the driver support could be much better. I have always liked creative products and have purchased mp3 players to speakers to sound cards in the past years.
    That might change, I have never had more issues putting together a computer in EVER all because of this sound card. I bought put everything together and every single day I would get at least one blue screen error. I tried trouble shooting the WHOLE computer. I swapped out parts and figured it was the sound card. So I contacted tech support back in January. They tried to help me and told me what to do and I did what they said. I still had issues, so they figured it was the card itself and to see if I could swap it out at the store I bought it from or warranty it out for another. I did the first of those and tried it out and still had the issue. So I figured, well maybe its my motherboard that does not like this sound card. So I bought a new motherboard, still got the blue screen error with the sound card. I put up with the issue for sometime hoping a driver my take care of the problem. Well about 3 or 4 weeks ago a driver came out and fixed the blue screen problem ( the release notes failed to even mention such a fix in it) . There is a major problem still and the driver is at blame. My CPU processor jumps about 6 degrees celsius turning my computer into a heater when enabled. When I disabled the driver in the driver management window the temperature drops dramatically. I either want this fixed soon or I want my 49.99 back that I paid for this item.So, tech support responded back and was no help at all. Has anyone else noticed this issue and anyone have any idea around it's The only thing I can think of is that there is a major flaw in the driver design that creative has put out.

    Not familiar with youp-pax. Found them on the web. Do they install like the regular creative driver pack or do I unpack and install through device manager?Also test the X-Fi in another PC with XP. Works beautifully so it must be a vista/driver incompatibility issue. I also tested the 2/28 "beta" driver. Installed and now my PC does not recognize the X-Fi card. Uninstalled these and ran driver cleaner, still no go. Will I need to remove my card, clear cmos, reboot...and then install the card, clear cmos, and reboot to recover? Or is there a simpler way?

  • Is it normal when I run a benchmark, the temperature of cpu goes to 95 degree Celsius

    Is it normal when I run a benchmark, the temperature of cpu goes to 95 degree Celsius.
    It is a latest Mac Pro Model, and I just bought it half month ago.
    Many Thanks

    Yes, that's normal. Don't do it very often or over long periods.

  • T60p CPU temperature over 80 degrees celsius

    Hello, I installed Notebook Hardware Control and it shows a cpu temperature of 84 degrees (yes celsius!).
    I can't put my notebook on my lap because it's too hot.
    The fan is louder than it was in the beginning and from time to time it makes a loud noise (like when you're holding a playing card between the spokes of a bike).
    The T60p gets almost always that hot, what could be the reason and how can I fix this (it still has warranty)?
    Thank you for your answers.
    Something additional: I'am not sure about that but it may be that the CPU gets only that hot when the power is coming from the AC adapter (my ac adapter indeed is making also some noise, it's like you could hear the power passing through, is that normal?)

    PS the GPU temperature is around 90 degrees celsius as well..
    Message Edited by criza on 02-21-2009 05:41 PM

    Welcome to the forum!
    Yes, these temperatures are very high and you should send the machine in for a checkup. The fan is likely on its way out or just badly clogged with dust.
    Good luck.

  • My new Macbook Air's (July 2011) CPU reaches 94 degrees Celcius watching basic, low resolution flash video. Should I be worried?

    The fan is inconsistent as well. Sometimes it will stay at 2000 rpm past 80 degrees Cecius and other times it will be at 6000 rpm at 70 degrees celcius. Just watching small flash videos, it hit 94 degrees celcius. In response, the fan only went up to 4000 rpm. Is this normal? That doesn't seem healthy.

    if you tried everything (smc reset, pram reset...) but if they didn'T fix your problem, your problem is apple's mistake about thermal paste.
    apple using too much thermal paste accidently in their factory and too much thermal paste make problems like this.
    you can check these links;

  • Gaps in audio when CPU reaches 100%

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Audition 3 on a laptop with the following spec:
    Intel Dual Core 1.6GHz CPU
    2GB Ram
    120GB HD
    It records perfectly and normally the CPU usage is around 20%. However if my computer decides it needs to do anything in the background while i'm recording the CPU usage shoots up to 100% and puts a gap in my recording. How can I stop this from happening? I have tried increasing the CPU priority of Audition in Task Manager, but still happens?
    Many thanks in advance!

    I would also suggest that you defrag your hard drive... I just defragged this laptop and it even starts up smoother.  If you have a lot of time to waste you may wish to defrag with VM turned off while in safe mode... I do this all the time under windows XP and it helps a lot...  I have also used a program called JkDefrag (http://www.kessels.com/Jkdefrag/) that is much faster and can even be setup as a screensaver to defrag when you're not around, but it's a manual install... Pretty easy to use though as it's pretty automatic and there are no buttons or other options that you need to go through first...
    If you are brave and want to defrag in safe mode with Virtual Memory turned off do the following... (Instructions for Windows XP with Classic Control Panel)
    Note: If you aren't familiar with setting virtual memory settings then you may want to print these so you can set them in safe mode before restarting again...  Or just don't do this at all...  Do at your own risk... If you have trouble then well I told you so...
    With windows started normally go to the control panel and double-click the System icon.
    On the dialog that appears click the Advanced tab and then under performance click the Settings button.
    On the new dialog that appears click the advanced tab and under Virtual memory click the change button.
    Select the first drive and write down the settings for that drive... Do this for all other drives.
    Select the first drive and then select the No paging file option and click the set button... Do this for each drive in the list. (don't forget to press Set)
    Press the OK button and Apply or OK on the other dialogs...
    A window should pop-up asking you to restart your computer... Close any running programs and click yes to restart your computer...
    Press F8 while your computer is starting up to enter the boot menu...  If you don't get the boot menu then you missed your chance and will have to try again by restarting...
    At the boot menu select Start in safe mode... If you don't see this option then hit F8 again...
    You may have to select your windows installation after selecting Start in safe mode... Just hit enter...
    When windows starts up click Yes to continue working in safe mode and then goto Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disk Defragmenter... In the defrag utility select the first drive and then hit the defrag button... You can do this for all other drives too.
    If you decided to use JkDefrag instead of Disk Defragmenter you can simply click Start->Run and Browse to the location you installed the exe files and run either the JkDefrag.exe or the JkDefragCmd.exe and it should defrag all local drives automatically...
    When it is finished you should use the instructions I gave you above to turn off Virtual memory to do the opposite and turn it back on... Don't forget to click the 'Set' button when doing so...  If you're not sure how to set the virtual memory settings for your drives just make sure that one internal drive is set to System managed and then click the set button and ok and apply on the other dialogs...
    And when done restart your computer and see how it starts much faster then before
    Anyway that should be it... Hopefully I got it right and nobody really needs to read all that anyway...  I'm so bored I should have wasted time somewhere else... And if you have problems making things work after turning off VM then you probably didn't turn it back on   Or you don't follow instructions well...  Or its me being retarded...
    Yeah... Defrag works in safemode and does a better job when it can access all the files on the drive like when VM and Hibernation is turned off... Maybe someone else can right a better tutorial for the FAQ pages...

  • Macbook Pro Retina  Late 2013 CPU temperature issues while gaming (99 celsius) Is this normal ?

    Hello everyone, this is my first time here. I recently purchased a macbook pro retina late 2013 notebook just over a month ago. It seems to be working just fine. I've installed bootcamp and installed windows 7. I use Speccy for my temperature monitor. I've played DayZ Standalone as well as L4D2. I noticed while playing both games on their lowest settings the CPU temperature consistently stays in the 90 degree celsius range often reaching 99 degrees celsius. I am fairly tech saavy and have a decent knowledge of computers.I bought the ThermaPak Heatshift pad in hopes of cooling it down but to no avail as it only does a great job at cooling everything else. This is my first laptop so I treat it like my baby ! haha I was wondering if these temp readings are normal because I know that even reaching 70 celsius can be somewhat damaging. Thank you for your assistance.
    EDIT:
    I've attached a screenshot of the temperature for proof

    So I just got back from the apple store and wow, what rude service. The guy basically shrugged when I told him "Well, I guess Im stuck with it huh?" after he told me there was no way I could get a refund. He performed a test and told me everything was fine and told me in a very arrogant manner that the test isn't showing the results I told them about as if I was lying....***? He said they can send it away for a few weeks but I don't have any other computer and I just bought this one for school so I can't afford to have it gone for that long. He told me "doesn't your school have a computer lab"? Seriously, how can someone at Apple be this rude? I told him they do but its closed at 7 and I dont live on campus. How could a computer lab replace a personal computer? He basically kept shrugging rudely anytime I tried to find a solution. He didn't even reply with a single word. When I told him I called the call center and they told me that yes it is much too hot and to take it to the store after doing a fix he just chuckled and rolled his eyes. Really?  I spent 1500 dollars on this computer to not even be able to do basic things on it without it overheating and the service is this bad? Well, looks like I won't ever be buying an apple product again even though before this experience I was a huge fan of all their products. I know one customer doesnt make a difference to them but come on...looks like I'm stuck with it and apple couldnt give one care. If having your hands uncomfortably hot after a small amount of time is acceptable then it looks like I'll never be buying another laptop from them. Its a shame I really liked it at first.

  • MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti "Twin Frozr II" crash at 50 degrees Celsius

    I get artifacts (pink squares all over screen) in heaven benchmark, fluid benchmark and gta 4,  a few seconds  later I get a black screen and then an error message there windows tell me the driver has crash but praise msi it was successfully recovered. All this then the card is nearing 50 degrees Celsius.
    I have:

    MAX LOAD    24A    30A  52A   0.8A   3A
    I tested driver on msi site and the latest nvidia driver, even tested some beta driver. All give the same result as stated above. I also tested to set the clocks at reference speed but no go. Also tested voltage at 1025.

    Got a new card today, same card but new.
    No problems now, seem the new card has newer bios and lower  core voltage. Maybe that is a way to fix it, just upgrade bios.

  • GHC always seems to freeze with 100% load.

    Hi!
    I just installed Arch Linux on my desktop computer. After following the steps detailed in the beginner's guide, I proceeded to install the nvidia package, zsh, x11 and xmonad.
    During the installation of xmonad, pacman seemed to stop after installing the first package with "haskell" in its name was completely installed. When I sent it to the background, top showed a process of "ghc-pkg" eating 100%CPU and about 6G RAM.
    I waited for maybe 5 minutes for this process to complete, and since it failed to do so, killed it. This caused pacman to install ne next "haskell-.." package, freezing again after this one, again with one process of "ghc-pkg" at 100% load.
    When I killed every process of either "ghc-pkg" and "haddock" that appeared in top, I got pacman to finish the installation, but the same problem prevents using it. Calling ghc or ghci causes this program to load out the CPU and consume increasing amounts of RAM, without getiing any output from them.
    What could be my problem here?
    Thanks much for reading
    P.S.: I don't know if that's related, but "htop" always segfaults as soon as its started (before any output). I am pretty sure I have no hardware problem, though, since the parallel Windows 8 installation has been rock-solid forever.

    I'm fairly certain your problem is related to "Journaling" being enabled on the Mac's system drive. Is your drive working during the 30 second pause?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107249
    You have to live with the delays unless you want to disable the feature.
    I've had journaling off on all drives over the past year and suffered no ill effects.
