Intel CPU temperature. what will cause damage?
Hi,
tryed to search an answer for this in the forums but found only answers about AMD.
I have Intel P4-2.4GHz running win XP. for the last months i had a lot of system crashs (no virus/spywares!). after consulting some people I tryed to monitor my cpu temp, and it seems to be quite hot (don't know exactly but i think all resets happened at hot days).
I took the computer to the vendor (still in warranty) and he took of the cooling part, cleaned it, also put a new fan in addtion to the existing one. now i am testing it to see if it happens again.
My questions are:
1) what are the nominal temp under winXP in that system ? is there any official Intel document on it ?
2) i used HardwareMonitor to log my cpu temp (MBM didn't worked - no temp found!). Can i trust its numbers ?
3) my computer had a lot of crashs in the last months. can it damaged in some way ? can the high temp cycles damage the cpu or decrease its reliability ?
4) about the last one. i want to ask my vendor to replace the MB and cpu, but i need some good Article or Intel Doc that prove that under this crashs he need to do it. (Can i prove the additional fan should have been installed in first place?)
thanks a lot.
