Some peoples tell that Tjmax in Intel specs is lower than processor can withstand, because the same mobile processors have 100 degrees Tjmax, so we shouldn't be afraid of temperature below it. The reason is that Tjmax is the temperature in the center of processor's case, but programs like Real Temp show us temperature from another sensors.

Mobile processors in laptops have higher max temperatures than desktop processors do, for example. Intel provides maximum temperature specs for their products which can be checked on their web site. Why the max temperature is a certain value is rather technical and really does not tell us anything useful regarding it's usage.</P><P></P><P>What information are you looking for?</P> Mon, 04 Jul 2011 19:21:25 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/What-and-why-maximum-admissible-temperature-of-a-processor/m-p/340152#M11272 idata 2011-07-04T19:21:25Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/What-and-why-maximum-admissible-temperature-of-a-processor/m-p/340153#M11273 <P>How can I find out the max temperature for my processor?
