Define "overheat". If all you're saying is "the fan began to whine and
I got annoyed so I shut off the program", that is absolutely NOT
overheating.
CPU core temperatures up to 95 deg C and rising rapidly, as reported by
a number of utilities including NZXT and CoreTemp. Max junction
temperature is given as 100 deg C, and I don't want to risk reducing the
lifetime of my CPU.
Maybe five or ten minutes at or above 100 deg C every few months might
not make a noticeable lifetime difference, who knows? I don't want to
make a habit of it. I wouldn't drive my car very long with a low oil
pressure warning active, either.
