Reading someone posting their temp for cpu hitting up to 100dC, i am wondering what is the normal temperature for i5 6500.

I did some test it was up to 70dC, it is normal or too hot for Malaysia environment? As i read online @ 70dC it is at max recommended temperature..

Do you use stock cooler.

Mine only 39c to 45c during idle and around 55'c during gaming

A little too hot if you asked me. Please check the CPU cooler is working optimally ie clear out any dust etc. You may also want to consider cleaning out the current thermal compound and re-apply.

Btw, I am assuming your case is properly ventilated too ie in-take fans and exhaust fans. If not, open the side panel and see if temp drops

70c is pretty normal if using stock cooler. Just make sure it don't go up to 80c. If it does then you need to look for way to improve your cooling system.

If you are using Cyrorig M9i like in your signature then it is a bit high. Maybe look at improving the overall air flow of your case.

Test was done using AIDA64 i think.. to full run all cores 100%. It hit 71dC for 8hrs.

Gaming i remember around 50 to 60.

Normal? As still something wrong with my cpu cooler?

My case is for max airflow.. maybe need few more fan eh?

that look pretty normal.
is not normal when you leave idle & temp is 60-80.
then you need to check your cooler placement & etc

Thank god. Scare me cuz i look online/youtube their temp shown much lower

Sounds perfectly normal. My 6700K is around that temperature as well, I have a aftermarket cooler but also overclocked.

Ah.....if the temp of 70C is when running load test, ok la. I thought 70C was when idle, die lor. 50-60 during normal gaming usage is quite normal

Case ventilation, I usually recommend 2 intake fans for front panel and 1 exhaust fan either at rear or top rear. Make sure you have fans for airflow rather than static pressure for case ventilation.

Thanks sifus

Dont be too scared. Intel cpu will throttle clock speed and worst case shut itself down if overheat .
80+c is still ok actually. I ran my old i5 2500k at tht temp for so many years and its still alive. If you dont oc at all, dont waste money buy 3rd party cooler. No benefit at all other than feel good factor. Intel stock cooler is quiet and able to cool the motherboard vrm too unlike tower coolers

Bought for feel good factor

mine 4790k running with stock cooler, temperature on idle is 50c~52c
is that normal? shud i get new cooler?

was thinking on getting cooler master evo 212

Overclocked? Whats ur room temp like? Try changing the thermal paste first and reevaluate.

no, just stock no overclocking. my room temp probably around 26c. i did reapply the thermal paste a couple time recently with cooler master pro thermal.
the currently idle temperature i get is like i stated 50-52c during idle. is that normal?

i was thinking on replacing it with evo 212 if the temperature abnormal. what would you suggest?

Its normal but on the high side. I have another pc on stock cooler running 45-50c with one exhaust fan in a room with temp around 30c.

Evo 212 or cryroig c7 is good if you're running at stock only.

what temperature i could expect after changing to evo 212?

Go for cyrorig bro.. 212 is old gen

how much would it cost. was considering 212 since the price were around myr150?

Idealtech is their single source importer fro MY.. check at garage sales. To be honest.. it worth every ringgit i spend on the their coolers so far..

I'm using cryroig c7. Temp around 28c idle, 55c max load at room temp about 26c.

212 could be cooler though based on online reviews.

I bought my c7 from idealtech around rm179. 6 years warranty iinm

for reference only. Just look at the max temperature

Well I am using i5 6500 and the idle temp varies from 27-29c.

Using CM Hyper 212X and I hate it when I have to dismantle the unit and replace thermal paste. The assembly part is quite difficult when your mobo is in your case lol.

lol wat 70c on a locked 6500? are you using the stock intel cooler with the shitty thermal pad?

noctua better oops
