The absolute maximum temperature for a PN junction is about 205 C. At that point basic diffusion of the P type and N type doping atoms becomes serious. 205 C is also the soldering temperature for the lead free solders we now have to use. That makes for interesting problems melting the solder fast enough that you don't damage the insides of a chip. Safe maximum depends on your safety standards but it's well below 205. 100 C is likely OK for everyone. -- --> A fair tax is one that you pay but I don't <-- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
