e6400 max temp

[thinlizzy]

Hi,
Anyone know what the max temp under load is for this processor?

Mine idles at 42 c and hits 62 under 100% load(according to TAT anyway).

Seems everybody has a different opinion on the max temp, so I thought Id ask here.

I have overclocked to 2.4.

Temps at standard settings were 41 c idle and 59 under load.

Cheeers for any replies

Another question

Do I have to enable anything in the mobo settings to shut it down when it gets too hot,or does the cpu do it automatically?

Is it thermal management or something like that?
