| allblue said: Sigh my cpu temps are sitting around 78 degree celcius in battlefield 4. I need to open up the case and replace the thermal paste at some point. Even with my 7950 oc'ed at 1150mhz, my framerates are sometimes dipping down to about 52fps at high setting, had to turn some of the effects like AA down to medium. Any news on when Mantle support will be coming for this game? |
Er. I've never replaced my thermal paste.
You might need to get some compressed air to clean out the dust in the heatsink and if you have fan filters, those too.
However, do keep in mind that AMD recommends 61'C as the maximum temperature for it's CPU's as stated in it's whitepapers.
Intel recommends 67.9'C for the First generation Intel i7.
However, higher temps than that should be perfectly fine within reason. :P
In-fact, all modern CPU's will throttle clockspeeds (And if it doesn't fix it, complete shut down) before damage is even incurred.
