Does cpu slow down when hot?

Processors generate heat that can lead to throttling, which in turn slows performance. This is the basic problem all laptop users face, the more you want to do with your laptop, the harder it works, and the hotter and slower it gets.

Is 77c too hot for cpu?
For most CPUs, somewhere between 60 and 80 Celsius is the ideal temperature range. That's the range that both Intel and AMD CPUs are designed to run at. Anything below that is a bonus. 85 is totally safe, but not really ideal.

Is the i9-9900k a hot cpu?
The i9-9900K can run hot in synthetic tests. It will get especially hot if you run something like Prime95 that throws AVX instructions at the CPU. If you have a standard tower air cooler, I would expect to see high 90s Celsius.

Is 88c too hot for cpu?
Anything under 60 degrees C (140 degrees F) is perfect. Just above this temperature is okay, but as you creep above 70 degrees C (158 degrees F), you should look at how to cool your PC down. Above 81 degrees C (178 degrees F) is too hot and could cause damage to your computer if you run it for a sustained period.
