Did You know?

I just called AMD, and asked what's their safe temperature on their CPUs, and they told me, "Anything under 90 Celcius is fine." HUH? 90C? Wow, that's something new, just to let the AMD OCers know that, as long as your temp's under 90C, you got nothing to worry about.

Did you ask how long it would last @ 90C and say 1.8V (for Barton). I don't think long and besides good luck on stability OCed @ 90C lmao. <A HREF="http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/K7_Electrical_Specification_Rev07_ENG.pdf" target="_new">This link</A> proves he doesn't know what he's talking about as all the Bartons are only rated for 85C, and again good luck running there with any stability.

A friend of mine's CPU's running into the 70's celcius that's why i called and asked. I didn't ask them about vcore, i just asked about safe operating temperatures. I personally for AMD likes to stay under 60C.

Ya but there are also temperatures where you can permanantly fvck up the transistors.

get some .35 micron k6's and go crazy frying, they take tons of heat!

When my heatsink fan died a few years ago my k6 cpu ran for a month at nearly 100c temperatures an she still runs to this day.

Hey that works for me. So if I OC my chips too much and toasts them, I can easily get a replacement. Hey sir this chip never broke 70C and it died on me!!

Hell, anything above 60c on the barton will give you trouble. I can see the thunderbirds and palamino chip doing that but not the bartons.

They are just going by standard physics were at the 90c mark, the transitional metal will become hot enough to become a conductor and short out the chip. These chips would fry well below that range. Probably one of many reasons that AMD is hurtin on the profit side.
