![]() User forums seem only to speculate on what is or isn't safe with no real specifications to back them up. Nvidia doesn't seem to say anything about temperatures on the product page. does that seem like the number I'm looking for? ![]() This page from Intel seems to be telling me that the CPU should not go above 100☌. My question is, how do I know what the emergency shutdown temperature is so I can set the alarm limit appropriately (low enough to trigger before catastrophe, but high enough that it doesn't trigger when things are still okay)? I now have a program that monitors CPU and GPU heat when I run Windows 7, and it will sound an alarm if they reach a pre-set ceiling. When I run Windows, apparently the OS doesn't care to throttle power in order to reduce dangerous heat like Mac OS X does. I know this because I have seen it happen a couple of times 60 degC is (rough rule-of-thumb) the hottest temperature we can stand to touch, and in the absence of published specs, I arbitrarily took that as a conservative upper limit, assuming that materials can stand a. I know there are maximum temperatures at which the system will shut itself down in order to prevent damage. I monitor my graphics card, CPU, and HDD temperatures and elevate the fan speeds (with SMC Fan Control) if one of them exceeds that.
