Thermal Specification: 63.4°C

Hi for this processor
http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL9QR

It says Thermal Specification: 63.4°C Is that the max temp you want to push it to?

can it run ok at this temp? 62/61 ?

running orthos Im at 49c @ 3.8 from 3.2 on air no load 38c

summer is coming just thinking ahead...

I suppose you could, but I would try to keep in under 50c or 55c max. It is always good to have a little wiggle room.

Ok, I meant theoretically thats the max temp...

Im never very good about getting my point across while typing, either over explain or under explain

right now its 49c on a 5 hour orthos run the ambient air temp is 19/20c

the system temp is 30 & under no load the cpu is 32c

what I was getting at was... Is that the temp you never wana get too

Tmax.. they have thermal trottling you can monitor to find the calibrated (by you ) max temp with trottlewatch.

my cpu runs just fine at even 70c, @ 3.5ghz. i try to keep temps at or under 65c.
