How hot is too hot for i7 9750H?

Under a gaming workload (around 60\% usage) it usually sits in the low 70s C. The 9750H is a mobile chip, so hot temps are to be expected from it, but 90C is getting dangerously close to the throttling point.

Is 90C OK for CPU?

MeanMachine41 said: Yes those temps are a little high under load however you would rarely see that under normal conditions. High 90C temps if sustained will degrade the CPU over time. For longevity I like to keep below 80C under load and 10-15C above ambient room temp at idle.

Do i7 processors run hot?

The Core i7 CPUs have a TDP of 130W, and run quite hot compared to the Core 2 Quad CPUs we’ve used in the past. When they build the CPU, they have to test it to see how good the quality is. The impurities and imperfections cause the CPU to run at higher temperatures, so they name the CPU based on its quality.

Is 80 degrees okay for gaming?

Yes, it is safe. The processor will slow down or shut off if it senses a dangerous temperature. That is around 100c. If your case has good front air intake to feed your cooler, you should be seeing 10-15c.

Is a 90 degree CPU bad?

The CPU can typically handle up to like 100 degrees C, but if it ever reaches that point, it will start thermal throttling. Regardless, having temperatures this high will shorten the lifespan of the CPU.

Is 90 degrees too hot to run?

With enough preparation and training, it’s possible to run long distances in the heat. Not too hot. But while running in the heat may be considered a risk to some people—such as children, the elderly, and pregnant women—as long as precautions are taken, running in temperatures as high as 86–95°F is fine.

Is 90c on CPU i7 9750h acceptable when gaming?

Is 90 C on CPU i7 9750h acceptable when gaming? I would attempt to reduce it. 90C is a bit close to the thermal throttling temperatures. Anything below 80 or 75C is absolutely fine. Hardly any benefit whatsoever from pushing lower to some 50C. But 90C is right on the border of where most CPUs start losing performance.

What is a safe temperature for a core I CPU?

Temperatures of 75°C, 80°C, 90°C and even 95°C are all perfectly safe operating temperatures for an Intel Core i CPU. That is why Intel sets the thermal throttling temperature to 100°C. If any of these temperatures were not safe, Intel could easily lower the thermal throttling temperature.

Is 90 degrees Celsius too hot for a laptop CPU?

But 90C is right on the border of where most CPUs start losing performance. For most laptops, expect a slight bit higher temp than a poorly built desktop. 90C isn’t “strange” in a laptop. Especially not for such a high-end CPU as the i7–9750H. It’s not ideal, but isn’t exactly “dangerous”.

How hot is the 9750h supposed to be?

Under a gaming workload (around 60\% usage) it usually sits in the low 70s C. The 9750H is a mobile chip, so hot temps are to be expected from it, but 90C is getting dangerously close to the throttling point. I’d recommend setting a more aggressive fan curve if you can.
