Intel i3-4160 Temperature Issue

DGuev — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 15:16:44 GMT

Hey guys, i got a problem with my pc:

since i build it (2 days ago) when i start to play games like Titanfall, a few minutes after it restarts itself, no error message, just like if someone plugged the power down.

Searching information, someone told me what was the temperature of my CPU and it wasarround 62 °C when it restarted using MSI afterburner... i don't think it is so hot to restart itself, so i'm asking here if could be that the problem.

i hope you can understand my question hehe, sorry for the bad english

Thanks!

Hello Karshax,

The processor will shut down automatically for security purposes when it reaches 100C or more but 62C is still under the normal temperature for a system that is running programs.

Here are some recommendations for overheating issues in case you would like to verify some of them:

I recommend you checking the power supply you have since based on the description I would say it may be the power supply. Make sure all cables are connected correctly.
