Intel later disclosed tj max values in the datasheets, and discontinued the analog thermal diode after 45 nm processors For 7th gen and later, intel changed the product specifications website in 2016 from tcase to tjunction (tj max). Although most intel processors reach tj max or throttle temperature at 100°c (212°f), it’s not advisable to run your cpu near the thermal limit, so core temperatures above 85°c aren't recommended Here's the operating range for core temperature Intel's highest tj max throttle temperature for certain variants is 105°c or 221°f Although most processors, including your i7 9700k throttle at 100°c or 212°f (boiling point of water), it’s not advisable to run your cpu near it's thermal limit, just as common sense tells you not to run a vehicle with the temperature gauge in the red zone.
Here it is on intel's product specification website See package specifications here it is on intel's datasheets Itsonlydanny aug 4, 2008 cpus dual core pentium processors If your hottest core is near it's specified tj max throttle temperature, then your cpu is already too hot The consensus among well informed and highly experienced system builders, reviewers and overclockers, is that cooler is better for ultimate stability, performance and longevity. It also said my cpu's tj
Max and what does that mean for the high temps of my cpu My pc is a prebuilt dell optiplex 980 (kinda old), i added a gtx 1050 ti and a ati radeon hd 4550 (very small gpu) I think these could be adding heat to the case and there by to the cpu Intel core i5 670 @ 3.47 ghz Also called tj max (t emperature j unction max imum), this is the thermal specification that defines the core temperature limit at which the processor will throttle (reduce core speed) to protect against thermal damage Throttle temperature is shown below
Including thermal design power (tdp) and idle power, which are expressed in watts (w). As you've discovered, although tj max (t emperature j unction max imum) or throttle temperature is 100°c, certain new motherboards have bios that allows tj max to be set as high as 115°c, which is an extremely poor concept, as it exceeds intel's thermal specifications. I've been monitoring temps closely with hw monitor just to see what they are like
