Does anyone REALLy know what the safe temp. is ? My thunderbird 900 runs consistently at 52-55 degrees Celsius and the threshold is set at 85 degrees. According to what I can find at the AMD site that seems OK, I'am using a Cooler Master heatsink/fan that is rather beefy as well.

Some of the AMD specs are referencing up to 70 C but I am not sure if they are using the same reference points as my monitoring utility, IOW are we taking the temperature at the same points?

REgards,
