What is the operating thermal range for the QX6700 processor? I am concerned that the cpu is getting too hot but without that info, I have no real clue. My cpu temps range from 40c at cold boot to 60c + under load.</P><P>Thanks</P> Mon, 27 Jul 2009 17:43:59 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/Operating-temps-for-QX6700/m-p/397129#M16180 idata 2009-07-27T17:43:59Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/Operating-temps-for-QX6700/m-p/397130#M16181 <P>Hi there,</P><P></P><P>The thermal spec for this processor is 64.5 deg.</P><P>Link 1:<A href="http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL9UL">http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL9UL</A></P><P>Link 2:<A href="http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=28028&amp;processor=QX6700&amp;spec-codes=SL9UL">http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=28028&amp;processor=QX6700&amp;spec-codes=SL9UL</A></P><P></P><P>If your processor is going above this temperature value, you may consider that it is over-heating.
