Is 70 degrees Celsius hot for a CPU?

If you are hovering around 70 to 80 degrees Celsius, some would say that it is generally safe. While it is a little bit safe, it is already near the danger levels of overheating as going close to 90 degrees while gaming can get your CPU damaged over time. The harder your CPU gets worked, the faster it could wear out.

At what CPU temp PC shuts down?

Generally, between 70 and 100c — it depends on the motherboard setting in the BIOS. This shutdown setting is designed to save the CPU from damage when there isn’t sufficient cooling, which can happen when a liquid or air cooler fails. For liquid coolers, the pump might fail but for air coolers, it would be the fan(s).

Is 74c bad for GPU?

Yes it is normal for GPU to reach 74 degrees Celsius, particularly when you are making it work heavily. In my case I can see that even without doing too much work, the temperature is normally around 50 degrees Celsius all the time. When occasionally run something more demanding it goes to around 70 C.
