Generally, the ideal temperature for a processor is between 40 to 65°C. It's just a range, but it varies depending on your PC model and processor. For example, for a high-end PC, it has a better cooling system, so its temperature can go up to 50°C. Ditto for a good laptop, which can be 75°C due to limited space as well as cooling options. From these slices, we can say that the temperature of a processor can exceed 80°C.

For gamers, you must also monitor the temperature of your computer constantly, mainly during long gaming sessions. Indeed, if the temperature is maintained above 90°C, the processor will be damaged.
