This is regarding an overclocked E2180, M0 @ 2.67ghz 1.3125v in bios (1.336v in CPU-Z)
What I was doing, was using core temp 0.99.5 and ensuring my temperatures don't go over 73C (this CPU's max temp I believe). However I've been doing some reading on tjmax recently and I have some context specific questions about my situation.
coretemp gives me the same readings as my bios, ie when I set my bios to idle at 40C, the coretemp reading is also at 40C +- ~1-3C. tjmax is set to 85C. When I run prime95 the temp can get as high as 69C, with an AC freezer 7 pro.
I've seen that the Tjmax for the M0 stepping is 100C, so I believe that means I need to add +15C in the compensation settings in coretemp. Does this mean that even though the sensor is telling the computer it is idling at 40C, it is actually at 55C? and when Prime95 is running the CPU is getting up to 84C? 11C above the max for the CPU.
I'm hoping that I'm just confused about the way tjmax works, and I appreciate any advice on this.
[EDIT]
Just incase someone mentions the high temp with a non-stock cooler. I believe it is attached properly. It doesn't rock or wobble, but when I push the top of the cooler it does move slightly.
