His individual core temps stay at 32C no matter what I am doing with it and his motherboard has the most recent BIOS version on it. ------------------------- The opinions expressed above do not represent those of Advanced Micro Devices or any of their affiliates.

TomBrooklyn Lurker Posts: 3 Joined: 04/03/2012	Originally posted by: Canis-XAs long as your core temperature has not exceeded the high side of the 60 degree mark for extended periods of time you should be ok. 62 degrees holds a generous safety net to begin with. What is "the high side of the of the 60 degree mark?" Wouldn't that be something like 60.9? But if so, how can 62 degrees be acceptable? Something's not adding up. Please clarify. ------------------------- interested in CAD/CAM such as AutoCad, SolidWorks, SCIA, also [photoediting: Photoshop, Lightroom, Topaz, Nik, etc.] and you tube video.
