95C to 100C!!!! z0mg. What will you guys push your temperatures to before you think that it's too high? I personally will stop at around 70C to 80C.

Well Tj max is the maximum allowable temp for a processor's internal cores, if you reach Tj max the processor's THERMTRIP# signal will activate shutdown to prevent damage to the processor. So you really can't 'run' that high.

That pdf actually will help people like the creators of Core Temp and RealTemp to more accurately read temperatures on the Core Series Chips. This info was previously unreleased.

But if the temps are at around say 70C, there's still more or less 20C left till you reach the Tjmax, which should be more than enough right?

Pretty ironic how both Core Temp and RealTemp were off by only 5C.

Fried eggs, fried CPUs, what's the difference.

When the temps get higher than 60C, I greatly worry. It's nuts seeing things up to 70+.
