[gentoo-user] how hot is too hot

[Andrew Gaffney]

I have a server that has dual Athlon MP 2200+'s. Each processor has the HSF that came in 
the package with the processor. I have 2 case fans: one at the front pulling in air and 
one at the back pulling the air out. The box has been up for 45 days and has been nothing 
but stable.

Earlier today, I installed lm_sensors to read the temperature sensors on the motherboard. 
Both processors' temperatures are hovering around 85C. While the server had been stable, 
are the processors running that hot gonna cause problems somewhere down the line?
