Using the internal-temp utility I checked the temperature. Imagine my surprise when it reported 52C (and about an hour later 45C). Is it even possible considering that translates to 100+ F. Which is when most CPUs tend to fry (not to mention the tablet is warm..but not hot or scalding hot for that matter).

Max temperature is gonna be closer to 70°C, maybe more.

CPUs probably don't like being run over 100C, which is closer to 212F. Most desktop CPUS stay over 100F almost all of the time...

100 F is about body temperature; if that killed chips, then there would be no chips left!

Those temperatures are totally non-critical. Mobile Intel chips are routinely rated to work up to or beyond 100C (212F). You can literally boil water with them. I wouldn't worry about those temperatures.

Cool; they should be great for overclocking then. Most chips I was aware of couldn't take 100C at the die; if they can take more, then an atmospheric-pressure open-circuit phase-change cooling system (squirt water at it and vent steam) is plausible.

Ah, ok. I was just worried since I remembered from my overclocking days on my desktop that temperatures that hot tended to fry chips (and motherboards with them). Thanks for the info.

And that would explain why my laptop's temperature too...
