Conroes -Maximum Operating Temperatures?

[kbc]

Hi, Just wanted to know what are the maximum safe operating temperatures of Conroes?

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.

As far as I can remember the 60C figure comes out of an Intel spec document somewhere.

Well it depends how you read it too. My E6600 hits 60c both cores on full load according to TAT but it doesnt throttle.

agree with that... but still wouldnt like my Conroe running at that

Try this link

and then look around for your actual processor

cheers

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.
