Intel burn test?

Jango · 20 Nov 2010 at 15:10

I used the Intel burn test to see if my overclock was stable the other day, and it said it was.

Is there anything additional I have to do during the Intel burn test, such as checking the temperature for example?

Ok, what would be a dangerous temperature for my CPU? (Intel Core 2 Duo E6550)

It says:

'Package Specifications
TCASE 72°C'

Does that mean that it will operate safely up to 72°C?

Thanks for your help everyone.

Tcase is not the same as core temperatures, and you are most likely looking at core temperatures when you oc.

With intel burn test I wouldnt go passed 85-86. You may decide a higher value as I think even with your CPU the core temp when the CPU begins to throttle is 95 or 100C.

What are the 'core temperatures'?
