Yeah I've read that also...safe operating temps anyway.

I don't think I would like my temps getting above 74, and wouldn't want to recommend any higher to someone else if I wouldn't like my temps going higher (wouldn't want to be responsible for someone losing their cpu heh)..so yeah I said low to mid 70s heh.

Is nice to know the temps can go that high and still operate safely though.


This is even more encouragement for you to overclock crapoo.
