At what CPU temp do you notice unstability? (AMD 2500+ Mobile @ 3200+)

[gingo]

I'm used to have CPU temps of around 36C Idle and 43C Load. But I have recently moved into an apartment and the room temp is higher than at home so I'm seeing CPU temps of 40-42C Idle and 50C Load. So far I haven't really noticed any unstability.
Now I like to have my temps on the low side but I personally dont see anything wrong with a 50C Load temp, as long as I'm not going much higher.

But I would like to know from experience at what CPU temps will I start getting problems?

I have personally run my mobile around 50C before without noticing a problem. Well within spec, so I wouldn't worry about it.

As for what temp is too high... I've heard varying results. Some say 55C, some say 65C+. I feel that it is best to keep lower temps for longetivity, but if you're stable, I wouldn't worry about running 50C at all. Heh, I guess that didn't really answer your question too closely. Hopefully someone else will come along with more info

Depends on how hard my clock is.... if I had a shisty sink, or no airflow, at a lower clock, I could get up to around 70°C and still be operational. However, if I"m going 2400+mhz on my proc, if I don't stay below about 52°C -- things get shaky.

im running an 1800+ DUT3C at 166x12.5 1.75vcore at 57 degs load


stable as a rock

for me at about 55C it gets kind of unstable.

my 2600mobile runs @ 42 normal 50 load very stable.....

My XPC(A64) before mods ran 65c load stable. Its now 43c, still stable.
