The "normal" temperature of a processor can greatly vary between computers, but from what i've heard:
20°C (68°F) to 29°C (84°F) is a bit low, but operable
30°C (86°F) to 50°C (122°F) would be in the "normal" range
51° (124°F) to 79°C (174°F) would be slightly high (but usually occurs during stress e.g, gaming)
80°C (176°F) to 90°C (194°F) and above, is extremely dangerous, immediately shut off your computer, these temperatures may lead to damages to various parts of your PC (motherboard, CPU etc.)
My CPU usually idles around 32°C, and when i'm gaming, it usually hits between 45°C-50°C. I also have an after-market heatsink and multiple exhaust fans which help with the temperature.

∙ 11y agoDepends on a bunch of things. Desktops generally run cooler than laptops, but not necessarily. My desktop runs at about 90-110 degrees and my laptop can get over 200. It depends on the processor, the heat sink, and the internal fans. Desktops run cooler bcause the get more air circulation.

∙ 9y agoDepending on the processor, how fast it runs, and what programs it is currently running determines the temperature of what the processor should be.The majority of today's desktop processors should not exceed temperatures of 95C and most run between 60-85C.
