So I just replaced my stock CPU fan/heatsink with new setup. Which is Arctic Cooler 64.

My core CPU temp is now idling at a steady 41 Celsius, but my computer is tending to freeze up a tad bit, and is reacting somewhat slowly. My previous fan had melted (Literally melted. Bearing went out and was unfriendly), but slow reaction is solved by closing a few processes. Nothing I can't handle.

So now that I'm idling at 41C, what is a mark temperature I should look out for, stay away from reaching? My HDTune program that measures temperature automatically sets 51C to critical temperature, or 135. Are those still safe temps to run at? I do everything I can to keep it cool, because my last computer literally fried because of a bad CPU fan and lack of monitoring the temperature.

TL;DR
Idling temp is 41C/105F. Is is safe to run things until I hit near 49C/120F?

Somewhat related, I'm considering overclocking everything, for the simple fact to say I did and reap the benefits of it. Does anyone recommend this? I'm content as I am right now, but I'm greedy and I want a bit more. Should I do it? The only problem is, I have never done it before/am completely ignorant to many facets of what it could do.

Opinions and knowledge are appreciated. Thanks. :o

It depends on the parts you have. My PC stays at around 60c and hits 70c at times.
This isn't great for the life of the thing, but I don't plan on keeping it around for 10 years.


Chances are you're alright.

41c is overall a quite safe reading no matter what your cpu is.


But for a more precise temp you would need to know what CPU you've got.

Being an avid overclocker I suggest you remove the cooler buy some AS5 and apply a small layer upon the CPU. Generally when you are overclocking the danger zone is 60C. CPUS need to try and stay under 55C.
