How hot should your processor be running? If it's working hard, close to 100 degrees isn't the end of the world. Here's how hot it can really run.
Your CPU can probably run hotter than you think. In the past, 70 degrees might have set off some warning bells in your mind and within the confines of your PC. But modern processors are designed to run much closer to their thermal maximums when working on demanding tasks, and they can quite comfortably sit there for extended periods of time without it causing any problems.
Indeed, it’s the maximum for most modern Intel processors. Taking a look at a much more modest processor, the Core i3-12100, which has a TDP of just 60W, it also has a maximum operating temperature of 100 degrees — though even with a basic cooler, you’d struggle to get it anywhere near that. So, whether you’re running one of the best coolers or just the stock one that came with the CPU, you should be absolutely fine, even if your CPU is reaching close to 100 degrees when you really push it.
