So how far do you think you can actually push your CPU before it melts down? Haha. Check it here:

AMD Althon, Althon, Opteron, Duron & Sempron Series:

AMD Athlon (socket) upto 1Ghz (90°C) AMD Athlon (slot) all speeds (70°C)
AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.1Ghz+ (95°C)
AMD Athlon MP 1.33Ghz+ (95°C)
AMD Athlon XP 1.33Ghz+ (90°C)
AMD Athlon XP T-Bred upto 2100+ (90°C)
AMD Athlon XP T-Bred over 2100+ (85°C)
AMD Athlon XP Barton (85°C)
AMD Duron up to 1Ghz (90°C)
AMD Duron 1Ghz+ (90°C)
AMD Duron Applebred (85°C)
AMD Opteron (65-71°C)
AMD Athlon 64 (70°C)
AMD Athlon 64 (Socket 939, 1.4 volts) (65°C)
AMD Athlon 64 FX (70°C)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 (71°C)
AMD Sempron (T-bred/Barton core) (90°C)
AMD Sempron (Paris core) (70°C)
AMD Mobile Sempron (95°C)

AMD K6 Series:

AMD K6/K6-2/K6-III (All except below) (70°C)
AMD K6-2/K6-III (model number ending in X) (65°C)
AMD K6-2+/K6-III+ (85°C)

Intel Pentium III Series:

Pentium III Slot 1 500-866Mhz (80°C)
Pentium III Slot and socket 933Mhz (75°C)
Pentium III Slot 1 1Ghz (60-70°C)
Pentium III Slot 1 1.13Ghz (62°C)

Intel Celeron Series:

Intel Celeron 266-433Mhz (85°C)
Intel Celeron 466-533Mhz (70°C)
Intel Celeron 566-600Mhz (Coppermine) (90°C)
Intel Celeron 633-667Mhz (82°C)
Intel Celeron 700 - 850Mhz (80°C)
Intel Celeron 900Mhz - 1.6Ghz (69-70°C)
Intel Celeron 1.7Ghz and Higher (67-77°C)

Intel Pentium II:

Intel Pentium II (First Generation "Klamath") (72-75°C)
Intel Pentium II (Second Generation, 266-333Mhz) (65°C)
Intel Pentium II (350 - 400Mhz) (75°C)
Intel Pentium II (450Mhz) (70°C)

Intel Pentium 4, Pentium M (notebooks):

Intel Pentium 4 (64-78°C)

There are no specific stats for Pentium 4 CPUs as P4s have an ability to slow themselves down when they are getting too hot and thus, in theory they should never be able to burn themselves out. To get specifics, consult Intels specifications for your particular model.

Intel Pentium M (notebooks) (100°C)
Intel Pentium D (dual core):

Intel Pentium D 820 (2.8Ghz) (63°C)
Intel Pentium D 830 & 840 (3.0 - 3.2Ghz) (69.8°C)

Intel Core 2 Duo:

E6700 (60.1°C)
E6600 (60.1°C)
E6400 (61.4°C)
E6300 (61.4°C)

Intel Core 2 Exteme:

X6800 (60.4°C)

Intel Pentium Pro:

Intel Pentium Pro. 256 or 512K L2 Cache (85°C)
Intel Pentium Pro. 1MB L2 Cache (80°C)

This is always nice to know. I noticed you applied for hosting. I hope you get it. Thanks for sharing this.

Can you tell me the maximum temperature for an AMD Socket AM2 Athlon 64 dual core 3800+, i know you have stated a AMD Athlon 64 X2 but im not sure if it is the same for all sockets and models or if they differ from socket to socket.

I would suspect the temp for the socket AM2 x2's that AMD is making would be a little lower than the 71 C that is listed. I'm not sure, you could try looking it up on google. Is your computer running near this temperature? If its anywhere near 70 C you are sacrificing a ton of performance from your processor, definatly want to get some more efficent cooling.

Watch out when the CPU get's a temp that's that high it could heat up some other components that are close to the CPU , like memory, HDD, Chipset on the main board , ... It's possible that they can't handle those temperatures and will fail to work.Also watch out for the air that goes into the powersupply if that's to hot the P.S. will fail as well.The best is leave everything at normal temperatures, and cool the system as good as possible.
