   @iTzDANiiEL with liquid nitrogen cooling..you could run that cpu for more than 5 years easily. 30 to 40 c for amd and intel cpu’s for the past 7 years or more at least..have easily lasted 7 years under the right voltage settings and if the motherboard is made for it. ( 10 yr custom builder here. I still have an amd 3000+ 2.0 ghz single core running at 2.6 ghz since day one and i still use it every day for work and older gaming multitasking semi constant temps at 43 c with aftermarket cooler.

    @iTzDANiiEL

    No i checked it in gaming it never went over 50C aslong the cpu isnt at 100% load everything is fine

    I remember testing my i7 980 at 3.3GHz with the stock cooler and tested it with prime i got almost the same results it is realy hard to get 6 cores verry cool

    @shiekta If you were absolutely murdering the thing at 100% load, it’s kinda iffy. If it always gets that high during gaming, that’s a problem. Honestly, these things are safe under 90 C, but I just get worried if anything goes past 75 C for me. It’s okay, but I would personally either ease up on the overclock you have going on there, or get better cooling for the CPU.
