I dunno if this is the one, but the Tbred 2200 article had power output tables. Heat is not shown, never will because it varies, no CPU chip is the same.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for:

That's not quite true. Datasheets provided by the CPU manufacturer always (at least as far as I have ever seen) list the worst-case scenario for thermal output, which is <i>very</i> important for heat sink designers (to know if they support the CPU or not) and system builders (to know what heat sink they'll need). Generally the heat will be better than that since it is a worst-case scenario, but it is at least a good guideline.

Oh yes, I didn't mean as any temp cannot be put in. I meant the average running temp. But I do know that it is important to test and have a threshold temp. As for lockup temp, it's as random as average, no CPU locks up at the same temps. (LHG had his at 60ºC...)
