Using Core Duo Temp app, I get temperatures like up to 170 F. What
level is dangerous to the chips etc
?
According to the Core Duo datasheet:
http://www.intel.com/design/mobile/datashts/309221.htm
The maximum junction temperature is 100 C. All modern processors will
shut down before the chip is permanently damaged due to overheating.
Continuous operation at high temperatures (e.g. 90 C) will reduce the
life of a chip, but the lifetime is probably on the order of ten
years anyway.
