max. CPU temperature

[andreadebiase]

Where can i find data concerning the maximum temperature that a CPU (Duron 700) can handle before getting damaged? AMD site doesn`t say much.
thanks

The specs are on the site, if you can find them. If I recall correctly, the new Durons are rated at max temp 90C. I'd think hard before running over 60C given the inaccuracies of motherboard sensors. 35-50C is a good place to be.

I had to email tech support @ AMD to get them....I have unfortunately deleted the email from them......sorry......I posted it here not too long ago and the temps where astoundingly high.

To quote:
"The maximum die temperature is specified through characterization at 90°C."
