John, Re: If you are correct, it's a huge problem for all the companies involved. Joe is speaking of 60° Celsius here... But it's still a serious problem if you don't ensure proper cooling. Andreas

John, It is irresponsible to say products from Intel/Dell/Compaq/IBM are unreliable over 60 degrees I don't say it, Intel says it: support.intel.com The product themselves (on outside the CPU box) will likely have lower temperature than 60 degrees (C not F), probably 30C to 40C. The temperature inside the case rises 5 to 10 degrees from room temperature, and CPU may rise another 5 to 10 degrees, even more on an extreme program over the case temperature. So you may get dangerously close to the limit. You will not have a problem in most cases, because, for example while I type this, the CPU is basically idle, so it doesn't get very far over the case temperature (with a good CPU fan). Joe
