My Pentium-M 2GHz system will get well above 80C when doing big builds
and this is well below the defined PSV (94.5C) and CRT (99C)
levels. These things can run very hot and be perfectly happy.

OTOH, it might be time to clean the heatsink in the machine. That can
hurt heat transfer as a machine gets older.

FWIW, the spec on the Pentium-M 2GHZ system is 105C, so CRT at 99 looks
right.
