Windows 10: Is my CPU running too hot?

I have an Intel NUC. Recently, shortly after I started watching video in Firefox, the computer shut down suddenly. I suspected that it was thermal overload, so the next time I started my computer I looked at the CPU temps using Open Hardware Monitor. They range from 60C to 95C depending on CPU load. (Around 70% CPU load was 95C). That seems hot to me. Is that correct?

What can be done to correct this, if so? Perhaps my case has gotten dusty? Perhaps I could replace the CPU fan?

CPU temp -- is this running too hot ?


Hi there

running a fairly heavy but not unduly load the CPU seems to be running at about 75 deg C peak -- Avg about 61 deg C.
Is this likely to cause trouble over prolonged periods.

I know that these devices can run extremely hot but I don't want to break it if adding more cooling can sort it out.

Any hardware gurus out there --is this OK or should I try and take remedial action.

opteron 144 runs very hot

my brother's CPU runs at 60deg at load, it has a gigabyte G-power pro, AS5
it runs at 2.7ghz at 1.45v

is this how hot they should run?
the stepping is CACJE
im worried because my athlon 3200+ runs 32deg max, same setup, 1.45v and 2.4ghz
