Hello
Indraneel already have told you many things. I am adding just few.
I believe that if you run any component of your machine above prescribed specs,
you are doing wrong. If it works, chances are that it's life is reduced. I have
a 486, which supports 50 MHz bus as against normal 33MHz bus, but continously
running the bus at 50MHz, resulted stability problem after six months or so.
Anyway temp. is one thing you can always keep down by providing external
cooling. In addition to Indraneels suggestions, keep your machine cabinet open.
That will lower the temp. considerably. It helps in proper ventilation.
Now your quesions.
1) 50 degress might be bit less. 55-60 seems OK. This is a guess. You decide.
2)Forget numerical value of temp. But overheating is dangerous. Reduce it.
3)I don't think you can ask kernel to sense temp. and schedule accordingly.
Create a hack. That will be welcome.
4)Best solution, cool it, even if it does not crash....
Bye
