Here's the test I mentioned before.
In SpeedFan, I screwed up and had TJMax set at 95C which is 5C too low. Add 5C onto the numbers in this graph.
My computer was Prime stable over night at 4050 MHz while running at about 57C. I was interested to see how much temperature head room it had so I unplugged the CPU fan.
It didn't take long for the core temperature to start heading up.
About 5 minutes later it peaked at 77C.
This is when Orthos crashed and reported an error.
Core Temp was using a 105C TJMax so the actual temperature is 5C less than what it reported which is also 77C (82C-5C).
Just to make sure that this kind of stupidity didn't hurt my new E8400, I fed it some voltage and cranked up the MHz and ran a pretty decent Super PI 1M with it.
Even when pushing things to the very edge for many years, I've yet to have one CPU fail.
It must be how I break things in.
