Hello guys,
i have a quick question which is bothering me since the weather is getting hotter outside.
I have a quad core q8300 cpu with a seperate cooler, so not the boxed one, and my temperatures in idle (completly idle) are this:
CPU: 45
Core0: 55
Core1: 44
Core2: 49
Core3 50
When i'm watching youtube videos:
CPU: 57
Core0: 63
Core1: 59
Core2: 57
Core3: 58
When i'm playing games (i'm setting my cpu cooler to 70% then):
CPU: 60
Core0: 65
Core1: 64
Core2: 62
Core3: 61
I already tried out the intel diagnotisc tool, also with the cooler at 70%, like i always do when it's on full load, and the temperatures are quite the same as when i'm playing, and it tells me at the end that everything is fine.
But i just want to know if these temperatures are "perfect" for a longer time? Like, do they disturb the lifetime of my cpu? I'm a quite scared dude because i don't have so much money to buy a new cpu or something and i'm absolutly untalented with pc things like cleaning them, but i have a "dust-protection" in front of my front-cooler and it still seems to be okay. The age of the cpu should be ~6-7 years, i'm not 100% shure because i bought it from a friend in 2011.
Thank you for any help
Best regards,
Jesse

Hi Jesse18,
The processor is working properly; the maximum temperature recommended is 71.4 Celsius degrees and it can support up to 100 Celsius.
The Core™2 Quad Processor Q8300 was released on 2008. It will be a good idea to replace the thermal paste between processor plate and heatsink.
Example of a third party compound; there are many options available in the market.
