Amazing but not startling. The processor can withstand 212 degrees F. But,
that is only one component.
Boards have many components very few of which can withstand 212 degrees..

Sorry if this is a bit OT but I can't find where to ask this
question anywhere but here...
I have a Pentium M in a fanless heat sink cooled Media PC system.
By spec it
should be able to run up to 100 degrees C (With a shutdown at 125)
but it keeps shutting down when it
reaches only 68 degrees C. It will do this if CPU usage goes above
35 to 40%.
The thermal protection is "disabled" in the Phoenix Award BIOS
(But it is of note that the highest of the un-enabled trigger
figures in the BIOS is 68 degrees).
Is there anywhere else I could look for a thermal trigger, some
other way to disable it or raise the figure to a more usable one?
System:
Win XP Home SP2
Motherboard LV-675
CPU Pentium M 1.73GHz
TIA

Water "boils" at 100 degrees C. Would not want that Media PC in my
entertainment unit (it may melt the "plastic.")
No, honestly it's designed to get that hot!
See the Pentium M specification at:
http://www.intel.com/support/processors/mobile/pm/sb/cs-007971.htm
Most other chips are limited to between 60 and 75.
A bit more research though has revealed that although the Pentium M can
get to 100 degrees the LV-675 motherboard is limited to 60!
I will have to find some way of silently cooling the other chips on the
motherboard - I am currently looking at some small heatsinks that can be
glued to the small chips on it. I will have to hope the heat pipe system
on the CPU keeps too much heat from going down into the board.
What I don't get is why a 100 degree chip is fitted to a 60 degree board!
It's like making a fireplace out of newspaper!
