Safe operating temperature for Athlon 1.2GHz

[Guest]

Does anybody know the MIN and MAX safe temperature for operating the 1.2GHz Athlon (if not all other TBirds and Duron chips). I always get different answers from everyone I ask. I heard the MAX is 90 deg Celsius. I would think this is a bit high. Apparently there is also a MIN as the intense cooling and heating causes the CPU to become brittle and crack??? Tx

The min is depends on your cooling if you are using a set up that would cause condensation than that is the major issue but if you are bathing your computer in a non conductive liquid you can get pretty low –40*c or so. As for a max well that question has been asked over and over and over but anyway if you are running over 55*c on load I would worry. Personally I never let my CPU get over 50*c but that’s just me.
