Is your temperature normal?

Below 85°C — cooler than 10% of submissions for this hardware. Excellent cooling.
Between 85°C and 85°C — within the typical range for this hardware.
Above 85°C — hotter than 90% of submissions. Worth investigating: thermal paste, cooler mount, dust, or case airflow.
Above 85°C — at or beyond the safe operating ceiling for this tier. Reduce load, check cooling, and consider professional inspection.

What's normal for this tier?

Entry-level CPUs run cool by design — typically 55–75°C under load. Higher temperatures here usually point to a failing fan, dust buildup, or poor case airflow.

Frequently asked questions

What is a normal temperature for the Intel Core i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53GHz?

Based on 1 community submissions, the Intel Core i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53GHz runs at an average idle temperature of 82°C and an average load temperature of 85°C. Anything between 85°C and 85°C under load is within the typical range for this hardware.

Is 85°C too hot for the Intel Core i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53GHz?

The safe operating ceiling for entry-level CPUs like the Intel Core i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53GHz is around 85°C under sustained load. 85°C is above the recommended ceiling. If you're exceeding 85°C, check thermal paste, cooler mounting, dust buildup, and case airflow.

What is the best cooler for the Intel Core i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53GHz?

For a 65W entry-level CPU like the Intel Core i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53GHz, a quality 240mm AIO or a high-end dual-tower air cooler (Noctua NH-D15, Thermalright Phantom Spirit) is generally sufficient to keep load temperatures well within safe limits. Higher TDP variants (overclocked or PBO-enabled) benefit from 360mm AIO cooling.
