to find a good number. While transcoding video on CPU in the

everest and cpuz reports that the temp is up over 70c. Is that
possible?
I'm worried, should I be real worried as in not use the CPU for
such tasks?
I've read these CPU's run hot...but that hot?

While not listing the D 495 specifically, this page suggests that 70C
is not too hot.
Note that this page lists case temps, which are lower than reported
temps. This gives you even more margin.
You can often bring down temps significantly by opening the case and
pointing a big fan at the thing.
Also consider how much of this you are going to be doing. If just a
little then don't bother to fix.
