safe cpu temp

[cuba0099]

ok guys i just upgraded from a dio core processor to a intel quad core processor Q8300 my question is what is a safe maxium temp to be running on, atm on idle the highest processor is running on 38 C and running a game is about 44 C

Sounds good. You should stress it a bit by playing a game on max, that'll show what's the coolers-ability and its stress-temperature. If it's already on max..well then you'll have no trouble with that temperature.

 

good temperatures? I have a link somewhere...one sec.

 

Nope, can't find it. 50 is advisable for a long-durability...60+ is at a risky/medium-overclocker one and you shouldn't get above 70. Yes it can get step by step higher without an immediate breakdown, but eventually it'll just shorten its lifetime.
