Hello
I have an Intel E5300.
On the attached page above, it is stated as possessing a thermal specification of 74.1°C.
Does this mean that, so long as I make sure that SpeedFan does not report its temperature exceeding or closely approaching that temperature, then my CPU should continue to operate healthily and happily?
I ask, because currently it is running at around 60°C, with only passive cooling via a Thermalright HR-01 Plus heatsink, in a well ventilated case.
On this basis, is 60°C ok for a continuous temperature reading?
