CPU-r not very good at keepin' it cool 8-)

by MrNotTechMan Jun 8, 2018 1:48PM PDT

So my CPU (Intel Core i5 4570S @ 2.90GHz) likes to get hotheaded when I play a cringe game like Minecraft and shoots up to 60 degrees Celcius and I'm worried that if I can finally run games like GTA 5 or Subnautica my CPU is going to overheat. Is that a legitimate concern and if so, is there a way I can not go into debt fixing this?

I suppose you could clean the cpu heatsink and fan.....test.

Replace the cpu thermal paste.....test.

Leave the side panel off......test.

60C is not really bad just a little warm.

That's in the normal range.

https://ark.intel.com/products/75044/Intel-Core-i5-4570S-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz puts the max at over 70C so you are not near overheating.
