The maximum operating temperature for a Core 2 Duo is 75 C. The idle temperature depends on environmental conditions, but a reasonable working temperature under light use (reading your email and browsing the web) would be 30 C. The numbers you quote are well beyond the point where the CPU should start downstepping (and eventually shut down) to protect itself. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
