Confusion with Tcase and TjMax
Hello, I'm like the title says a little confused. I have done some slight overclocking on my system
CPU from 3.0 to 3.6
RAM from 1600 to 2133
Yesterday I was in another thread and another member was about to run Intel Burn Test. He ran it standard first, then I suggested Maximum 5 passes because thats how I ran it for mine. I went from this tut
CPU - Stress Test Using IntelBurnTest when I checked my system .In the tut under requirements I went to my processor for Tcase and found my Tcase is 67.4C. I always assused for Intel I needed to watch TjMax which is 105C for my cpu (I would never want to actually go that high). So I ran the test with these results. My temp went in the upper 60's for cores 0-2 and 71 for core 4. It passed but I'm still wondering was it bad to go past 67.4? My normal idle is in the 30'sC and usually never go higher than 63C playing games.
I am going to get a better cooler, my question is what is actually the highest safe temp for my proccesor.
