Prescott Heat Constraints

[Socrates]

Hi,

I was wondering what's the temperature upper limit of the Prescott CPU. I have a 2.8 Prescott and I'm a little bit concerned that 50 degrees celsius up to 70 depending on usage is a little bit too worrying!

Apologises if there's another thread for this, but when I typed Prescott in the search bar, it came up with too many threads!

It appears it starts at 80C, so no worries

Thanks for putting my mind at rest!

No problem, also remember that is a high-end prescott, you still have a lot of headroom with that 2.8
