CPU Temperature Guide
Interpret a CPU temperature against ambient, your maker’s limit and symptoms.
How it’s calculated
Margin = maker limit − temperature. Above-room = temperature − room temperature.
Limitations & assumptions
Normal temperatures vary by model and boost behaviour. Always confirm the limit on the maker’s page for your exact CPU.
FAQ
Is 80 °C bad?
