CPU temperature

[Adam18290]

Whenever you ask someone about what temp their CPU is running at, they always say, "idle = XX, full load = XX"

Obviously I know how to find out cpu temps when idlying, but how can you find them out on full load, i mean if your in a game or something, time youve minimised the temp has gone down.

Thanks

Roughly how hot can these things go up to, before anything happens to them?

Hi, thats just idlying mate, css was just open, wasnt in a server or anything. Ive had no problems with my pc so far, only when I used some asus utility to overclock - causing me to crash, however i just put everything back to stock and was told off by my mate for using a utility to oc. But in terms of overclocking via bios, i havent done it b4 and dunno if there will be that much of a performance increase?

Q6600 G0 < 85c is about the limit, o/c to <= 70 and you're laughing, mate. There are many other opinions though, and a lot depends on air v water cooling.

When you say 85 is the limit, is that idle or load?

Hi again, using prime95 I found out that under load (cpu 100%) my temps were going from around 40-50, what do you think is the most they can handle, temps wise, at load?

Thanks
