Recently, I signed up here, got a warm welcome (ty for that :beer: )

But when I started reading, I noticed most people monitor the individual core temperatures (T junction it is named I think?) While I always watched the main CPU temperature given to me by Everest Ultimate.

the picture was just taken, while the CPU is at about 15-20% load

Under full load, the cores get up to 70°C, while the general CPU temperature remains stable at 40°C. I think the max Tj temperature is about 100°C? Yet I read most people keep it under 50°C? So my question is: is running it at 70°C bad, or is it fine? If it's fine, what should I use as max core temperature, 90°C or something? (sorry for not using Fahrenheit, I'm European :confused: )
