As others have mentioned, 85C is simply way too hot. The max operating temperature that AMD lists for my Athlon CPU is 75C. I've never seen it go above 50C, by the way.
Your BIOS probably has a high-temp warning or safety available, though it not be disabled. If the CPU temp goes above some value, it will "warn" you, I would assume by beeping. If it goes above a higher temp, it will simply shut the machine down. If you're truly at 85C -- note that NO ONE other than you believes it's really that high -- it would surely shut down. If it hasn't, you've likely greatly decreased the life of the CPUs. Hall On Sun, 2003-11-16 at 04:50, Andrew Gaffney wrote: > I searched around with google and on the forums.
