Is 95C CPU temperature too high?

I have Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. When I use QuickTime or any other video converting software to convert video for my iPhone CPU temperature hits 95C mark. Is it too high? Should I do something about it. If yes what should I do? It is the only situation when CPU temp is so high usually it is not higher then 70C when loaded.

Hi,
thats normal that the CPU of an mobile system gets hotter, I mean your much more near the CPU then by an desktop. Thats normal that you could think the CPU gets too hot.
I have an Satellite X200 (Gamer machine) and the thing gets really hot, but thats normal since a powerful CPU is in there.
If I were you I wouldnt make any doubt about it and if youre unsure just ask some of your friends which owns a notebook. Usually they would say "yes, mine gets hot, too.."
The 100 degree means that the CPU can become such hot till it reaches 100 degree and then the machine shuts down to prevent to some damage on the CPU.
So in this case the 70 degree are okay. You (can by the way) prevent overheating when you clean your machine regurarely simply by blasting some compressed air gently through the ventilation holes of the CPU cooling system. If not then the cooling modules will be clogged from dust and start to overheat...

  • CPU temperature too high

    i have P4 2.8Ghz 0.09 Micron on an 875 NEO - FIS2R Board , and my CPU is runing on 61 on low up to 82-85 on "burn" when it shut's down the temp in the case is 32 on low - 35 on "BURN" , the case is CodeGen 9011 with 3 fans + additional 2 fans / 1*8cm + 1*12cm/ + fan under the HDD , the cpu is BOX version , it is in the original intel package with the heatsink and fan ... what can caouse such high temp. Please help

    Hi Maxi
    Ok first of all there is no northbridge temp sensor. So ignore that reading it is just a floating voltage that is taken as a temperature. Your NB will be fine as many and I mean many ppl have posted saying there NB temp is in that region and none have died.  
    Secondly I agree with Ruckus buy a new heatsink I suggest the Zalman CNPS7000-A Al/CU (Aluminium and copper version as lower weight.)  
    But if your CPU is a Prescott which I think it might be then go with the all copper version.
    But before you upgrade your heatsink maybe just reseat your current intel cooler because i might be on wrong. Secondly maybe upgrade the bios to a newer version to rule out a bios issue with the temp.  
    Those are my suggestions. Wait for other ppls suggestions before you take action.
    Hope this helps

  • U430p Touch temperature too high

    Good morning everyone,
    I have the Lenovo U430p Touch (Grey 59427963):
    i7-4510U
    NVIDIA Geforce GT 730M 
    8GB Ram
    500GB + 8GB 5400 rpm
    Since very young, I was always into gaming, being the clevo P370EM my previous "laptop". I've decided to go for a lighter smaller laptop and I chose the Lenovo U430.
    I have this Lenovo laptop now, for the past 9 months. apart from the normal tasks (browsing, video chating, music videos, excel documents, image editing....) I play a few games as well (League of Legends, Path of Exile and Grid 2).
    I haven't modified the laptop in any way. Everything is up to date - OS and drivers.
    i like the games to run smooth so Im not even on high graphics, I reduced them to have more fps.
    since the beggining the laptop allways worked fine, temperatures where never too high...
    but for the past 1.... 2 months, I started noticing that it gets too hot in when playing, and even when im bworsing on youtube for example...
    I was wondering that I should/could open the laptop to clean the dust (i've used the Dust Removal tool from lenovo Power management but it barely helps....) and also to renew the thermal paste.
    However, I was not able to find much info on this.
    The image below is from Notebookcheck, could you guys let me know wich one is the GPU and wich one is the CPU, and also:
    does both the GPU and CPU use thermal paste? or is it only the GPU?
    Would it be a good idea to renew the thermal paste? (I would take the laptop to any store capable of doing this)

    Thank you

    First, I would recommend that you download HWMonitor which is a free utility that will report your system's temperatures.  That way you will know if "hot" is really too hot.  The download comes in two versions. The first will install on your computer.  The second version is a Zip file that can be copied onto a flash drive and used as a portable application.  You can download HWMonitor here....
    http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
    Secondly, I would recommend that you blow out the cooling vents on your computer if you have never done so.  Given the time in use, the environment in which you use you laptop, the heatsink and fan maybe covered in dust. Dust on the cooling fins will decrease the cooling efficiency and dust caked on the fan's blades with decrease performance.  Can of compressed air are available at any computer or electronics stores.  They maybe also found in the electronics section of big chain stores.  Just use short bursts of compressed air in the exhaust and intake vents.  Do this several times until you no longer notice dust being blown out.  Avoid long blasts of air as that may damage the fan.
    Thirdly, if you decide take the computer in to have the thermal paste renewed I would recommend finding an Lenovo Authorized Service Center since the laptop is still under warranty.  The repair center will renew all the thermal paste under the CPU or GPU. You can find an authorize center by using the link below.  Select your country, enter in your city and check the back box for Warranty Service Provider.  Here is that link......

  • MSI GTX560 Ti Hawk SLI Temperature too high

    Hi,
    Two days ago I bought a second GTX560-Ti hawk (Twin Frozr III) to run in SLi with my other (the exact same card). I noticed that the VRAM temperature of one of the cards (I'm guessing the top one, but I'm not 100% sure) got really high. It got to something like 90 degrees celcius. Core temperature was ok for both cards, a little bit higher than when running a single card but I suppose that is to be expected.
    Also when I stopped doing anything when it got to that temperature I noticed that the VRAM temperature wasn't going down very fast.
    I've tried both cards separately and didn't observe those temperatures so I'm guessing the cards are ok. It's only in SLi modes that these have issues. I was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction as to fixing this problem, as right not I cannot play any games because I'm worried that the temperatures will become too high.
    It's worth mentioning I have a MSI P67A-GD55 (B3) motherboard.
    Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

    Actually I got a new case and put everything in and did as you said (switched the cards) and got no screen at all.
    If I switch the cards to the original set up it works like I described before. I'm guessing the second card is faulty and I will RMA it.

  • Qosmio G35 - Temperature too high

    I had already 2 times repair this laptop, and don't want repair it again.
    Problem is Temperatire on VideoCard. If do nothing(display closed) temperature is GMCH1 73С(164F), GMCH2 64C(147F).
    I bought FLOSTON Airgear.Now if do nothing(display closed) GMCH1 63C(145F) GMCH2 55C(131F).
    If i start to do something - temperature increasing up to 77C(170F). If load some 3D it increasing more and more.
    I want replace cooler in laptop myself. I need some instructions and schemes how to do this. And some advises.

    Hi,
    I have this laptop still under warranty, but my problem is that it gets to an extreme temperature, i don`t think it`s normal for the cpu temperature to rich 84C using just internet explorer and yahoo messenger.
    Until now i thought that noise from the cooling fan was annoying but if i get to the point where my board get`s fried, i`m ready to deal with this noise only to keep the laptop cool. My subject: is there a software which i can use to keep my cooling fan at maximum speed, despice the noise.
    I am ok now, i still have warranty, but what happens after ??? ...

  • IMac 27" i5 - GPU Temperature too high ?-

    Hi, I just had back my imac 27 from apple store (they changed logic board).
    Everything is fine but gpu temps are very high even without running cpu/gpu consuming apps.
    Both GPU diode and heatsink are 70° C, ambient 23° C, CPU 48° C and HD 52° C.
    First of the repair I haven't noticed values so high.
    It seems to me that some airflow path could have been blocked somehow during repair.
    Any experience about these temps?
    Tips? Apple official replies?
    Thank you in advance,
    A.

    I am getting a 1 KHz whine through Behringer Truth monitors using M-Audio USB Fast Track Ultra audio/midi interface with an iMac i5 27-inch with LED monitor. The whine occurs continuously from the moment I open Logic Studio or iTunes, when the output is routed through the Fast Track Ultra. The whine does not occur when I use the imac output to imac's speakers. I also get an electronic scraping noise when I use the blue tooth connected magic mouse. I have installed ferrites on the monitor speaker wires with no reduction in the whining noise or electronic scraping noise. I have also ordered the USB with ferrite collar to see if the connection between audio/midi interface and the imac is the source of the noise. I am considering a Hum-X, as well, but I am getting into serious money taking stabs at a problem for which there ought to be plenty of competent technical support. The fact that this whine is at 1 KHz and not lower suggests that I am not suffering a typical ground loop. I am a former Pro Tools user who never had a hum or whine from my Digi and G4, which I am seriously considering recomissioning so I can make music again. I am spending way too much time and money making educated guesses and trying to diagnose a problem that all but kills the utility and purpose of this new system. I too am calling on all great engineers to step up with a diagnosis and solution.

    }The example is a working one, you can try it out. It consumes too much CPU time. I just want to draw 2 rulers... therefore I followed the example given at the Sun Java tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/scrollpane.html -> "How a Scroll Pane Works". Unfortunately I can't use a JScrollPane.
    Thanks a lot!

    Aside from the change event issue, you should not set properties of the component (ie the border) within the paint cycle. Think about it - a property needs only be set once, not every time the component is painted. In the paint cycle, you use the component's properties to render to the Graphics.
    Also, if you extend JPanel, you will get the background rendering for free. (Use what Swing can give you for free: it's well-optimised, you're unlikely to improve on it except in very unusual cases.)
    No point creating a font (again, added cost in the paint cycle) - use getFont() to get the component's font, and set it elsewhere (eg in the constructor) if the default isn't what you want. Note also that by hardcoding your font, you're effectively killing the functionality of setFont().

  • Imac temperatures ¿too high?

    Hi,
    I've owned my Imac G5 for about 6 months now, and the other day I had my hand placed on the top of the screen and I noticed it was quite hot for the normal. I live in Spain and its about 36º in the afternoon (96F), maybe its just the Imac facing the summer, I don't now. Anyway, I'll leave the stats of the temperatures from a widget I've got so you can know a little bit more, thanks
    [img=http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/3830/tempsan4.png]

    The information Chris CA gave you was absolutely accurate - if your computer gets too hot, the power supply unit will automatically shut it down when it exceeds the recommended temperature, so until that happens, you don't need to worry about it. And you are posting in the wrong place, this is for PPC iMacs, which have not been produced for several years. You have an intel and he gave you the correct forum to post in.
    His information was not only correct, but useful as well, if you trouble to read and understand it instead of being snarky!

  • KT4V CPU load too high when IDE active underXP Pro

    Hey there,
    Plz help with this:
    Win XP Pro on KT4V run fine except for the high CPU load when performing ide tasks (load, copy etc...).
    Tried Win98SE, HDTach reports 5% only. Under XP 55%.
    All drivers up-to-date, wiring OK, latest BIOS burned, HDD in UDMA 5 mode.
    Any ideas? BAS, did you not experience similar prob?
    Thanks.

    The problem is not your code, but the stock JMF DirectSound audio renderer.
    The audio renderer has its DirectAudio buffer hard-coded to hold 2 seconds of sound. Therefore, if you have any lag for any reason from the audio card driver when sound is starting up, you will have an audio delay of up to two seconds.
    My company had to make heavy modifications to the original JMF audio renderer. We set up a 300 millisecond buffer and also introduced code to handle buffer starvation, etc., etc. I would suggest you get the JMF source code and check this out for yourself.
    Good luck.

  • Are my temperatures too high? GTX580 TFII

    I just got a MSI 580 Twin Frozr II OC and it works fine. It's just that I feel like it's getting a bit too hot compared to what I've read in reviews and posts online.
    if my computer is idle, the temperatures are around 40deg C at 40% fan speed. If I play Battlefield 3, it gets to around 87-89Deg C at around 70% fan speed (I've never seen it go above 89deg).
    Are these dangerous temperatures? I'm not getting artifacts or anything, I'm just worried it's bad for the card over time..
    I have one 120mm fan at the rear and one 120mm on the side sucking air out, and one in the front blowing air in. They are all silent type fans with relativly low RPM.

    are you using dual screen?
    the card stay in 3d mode when you are using 2 screen, you can force 2d mode with nvidia Inspector (sorry I only have french link : http://www.overclocking-pc.fr/forums/showthread.php?t=23670)
    my temp were at 41°C IDLE before I know that, now 28°C ....

    Am i reading right you are using Arch with Gnome3 in virtualbox if so you are using much to much video memory 60mb is about right for vbox. 3d is experimental and more than likely will not work with gnome3.

  • System CPU usage too high

    Hi, i've been trying to troubleshoot this problem for some months.. everytime i try to use perfmon or another program to watch for network usage (download and upload) the System process spikes to 13%~ constantly until i close it.. I could "live"
    without that but now everytime i'm using an application on my second monitor, the same thing happens... started happening just an hour ago, and it's really bothering me because i don't have a clue what driver could possibly cause this.
    I've tried capturing xperf traces on another forum but they keep come as corrupted as the person whose trying to troubleshoot with me tells me, and i can't seem to get a grip of the xperf analyser myself to see what (driver?) is using the cpu so i can try
    to replace it...
    Anyway, as i type this it jumped up to 20% and i don't know what to do.
    I'll upload two xperf traces here, but at least one is "corrupted" as the other kind member on the other forums told me. (which is the first one below)
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36066558/highCPUUsage.7z
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36066558/highCPUUsage2.7z
    And the one i just recorded, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36066558/highCPUUsage3.7z
    Does someone have another way or can help me find what's causing it?
    I used the command xperf -on latency -stackwalk profile -buffersize 1024 -MaxFile 512 -FileMode Circular && timeout -1 && xperf -d highCPUUsage.etl
    I took a print of the System process Threads in Process Explorer http://i.imgur.com/vbW36rU.png
    Before the today's change, the function shown there was mostly ntoskml.exe!KeGetCurrentProcessorNumberEx+0x34, i don't know if that means anything...
    Thanks.

    First Xperf has been replaced by Windows performance recorder.  Second there was almost no data recorded in your trace.  Please run a windows performance trace as instructed in the wiki and upload it.  Make sure you run the trace when the

  • My macbook pro cpu temperature is too high??please tell me correct fact and information

    i mistake deleting my activity.......re question...
    I'm using macbook pro retina 13inch 2013 late version.
    my macbook has NO external graphic card, just iris graphic.
    when i was playing diablo3 or watching movie by using bypass ip address, my cpu temperature was maintained 90~100 celcius degrees.
    And at the same time, my cooling fan was maintained 5800~6000 rpm.
    There are two questions.
    One, is my macbook temperature too high or normal level ?
    Two, i know that 6200rpm is maximum speed of cooling fan. Why  did fan run 5800~6000rpm, not maximum?

    When processor intensive activities are taking place, temperature may reach the maximum level.
