8120 temps

[stealer0517]

I don't know if Ive read something wrong online, but is the amd 8120's tjunction really 60 degrees?!?!?! I bought my 8120 and I love it, but wtf is the tj max really 60c? my core 2 duo e440 has a tj of 60, and my shitty ******* core i7 in my laptops max temps are 100, and that core i7 sucks ass! Please tell me im getting fake websites with fake *** about the fx series.

The max recommended temp for a 8120 really IS 61C, yes. Intel CPU's can run warmer safely is all. Going over 61C isn't the end of the world though, that's just the max recommended temp for longevity.

My, my, my. Sounds like someone didn't apply their thermal paste properly. So silly.
