Just installed a Xigmatech HDT-S2183 with Arctic Silver 5 on my Abit IP35-E, after cleaning the heat spreader with Akasa TIM-Clean. The paste hasn't had any time to cure yet, but initial temperatures at stock 1.6GHz are;

idle: 35c/34c
load (Orthos): 49c/48c
load (Core Damage): 52c/51c

I found the spec page for the e2140 at Intel's website which states that the Thermal Specification is 61.4c. Does this mean that if I let the temperature rise above 61.4c the chip will throttle or take damage? I've been out of the overclocking scene since socket A, so excuse my lack of understanding of the terminology. I only ask because 61.4c seems a bit low compared to the 80-90c that I was used to working with with Applebred/Thoroughbred/Barton cores.
