Have Googled it (in fact 20 seconds before posting this thread ;) ) and people have been reporting 60C? But throttling starts at 80C?

Dunno, I only provided the Google as I don't know for sure myself and thought you could sift through the links.

That's exactly what I did, but thought someone knew an actual answer. It seems it varies a lot. I know for sure that the maximum safe operating temperatures for AMD X2's is 60-65C.

I've also assumed that Conroes have a much higher maximum than the X2s.
 
So are we saying that 60 (for example) is as high as things should go.....and if so, is that 60 per TAT/CoreTemp or 60 per Everest/PC Probe......

TAT/CoreTemp give me 60 under load, but nowhere near 60 in Everest/PC Probe......this is what has stopped me pushing for more than 3.2GHz....
 
Hysteresis (TCaseMax) temp on the Conroes is 85 degrees, so presumably above that it will start throttling back - or just degrade if throttling is disabled.

60 degrees isn't anything to worry about really imo. It's not desireable, but I don't think it's outside spec.
